Hi, Has anyone ever found what the crime was for these two ladies please. There is a lot written about this mother and daughter and Ann juniors husband John Cox, soldier on the "Pitt:", but what is missing is the crime and the records. I am happy to go after the records if they are not available I am presently putting the Cox family on my family treemaker. John Cox, Samuel and Mary Ann Lucas, Susan Cox and John Thomas Flood. Then the Flood family as their daughter Alice Caroline Flood married William Laing another line of the family. I would like to find the Trial account. Maybe there is someplace in NSW as they went to Port Jackson First, arriving 14th February 1792, "Pitt", then Norfolk Island before Van Diemans Land. I did send to the Archives Authroity of New South Wales 4th Feb 1985 they checked the 1811 Colonial Muster for Van Diemans Land and Norfork Island. Norfolk Island papers and the T.D Mutch Index to Births, marraiges and deaths and sent me the first six childrens births and baptisms. Nothing regarding the trial. So would be good if anyone is willing to share. I think this was more to do with John Cox than Ann Brooks though Ech of the children being Broks or Cox. thankyou for any help Edie McArthur

Hi Edie, Just read Meryl's reply re Warwick assizes. Our son in laws ancestor who came here on the 3rd fleet Admiral Barrington 1792 He was tried at Warwick 1789 and his record didnt survive ....... a few years ago I got copy of a newspaper report of his brief trial via a cousin . Was in the Birmingham Gazette . Very recently I tried via Findmypast to get a better copy but gave up till I had more time to persevere and maybe next time try via the British Library as have the date of publication. FMP data bases used to be easy to search . I dont know if this applies to all trials in Warwick in the late 1780's bye MargM Beautiful NSW Central Coast
