    3. I am lucky enough to live in essex where the library service offers free use of Ancestry for one hour sessions. trying to find a few dead ends I took advantage of ancestry today and whilst it didn't help in my search for individuals, as i had some time left i played with the rest of it! Putting in the name Bispham in the criminal bit I found two Bisphams in the lIverpool Assizes,one a Thomas(very much a family name) and the other Ann.Both transported one in 1812 the other 1831 , both for larceny(one from the river).Now I cannot prove these are my Bisphams as yet but as it is an unusual name I feel there may be a link.My question is...How do I find further records of judgements,which may give full details of accused and how do find out about transportees? Any guidance appreciated. regards jan bispham
