Hi all I have a convict tried at Wexford for burglary in 1820. He came from County Wexford but I do not know the place. I am wondering if there were several courts in County Wexford and if this indicates that he came from somewhere close to Wexford or whether everyone was tried there at that time? Has anyone any knowledge of the system then? Lyn in Brisbane Australia

Hi Lyn. I don't know how helpful this will be, but I found this site by 'googling' Wexford Ireland Courts'. There's a 'Heritage' link on the page that gives a history of courts. There are probably other sites available, too. http://www.courts.ie/courts.ie/Library3.nsf/pagecurrent/E290AD9B5D9D8D3C80256F33005B56D6?opendocument&p=100 If that link doesn't work, try www.courts.ie Terry in Michigan ----- Original Message ----- From: "Lyn Nunn" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, March 15, 2006 12:35 AM Subject: [WEX] trials in wexford 1820 > Hi all > > I have a convict tried at Wexford for burglary in 1820.

Lyn A name of your convict would help also as others on the list may be related by surname and it would be wonderful to see you connect with someone I guess you have looked at the NAI Transport register to see if there were any other papers listed for him????

Thanks Cara, Posted on the 10th - Mathew CONNELLY born 1797 and his brother Timothy. Unfortunately, they are not on the NAI register and I have pretty much exhausted Australian resources. I am interested in how the system worked in Ireland though anyway if anyone can help or recommend any books. Googling hasn't given me much information from that time frame. regards Lyn ----- Original Message ----- From: "Cara_Links" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, March 18, 2006 9:24 PM Subject: Re: [WEX] trials in wexford 1820 > Lyn > > A name of your convict would help also as others on the list may be > related by surname and it would be wonderful to see you connect with > someone > I guess you have looked at the NAI Transport register to see if there were > any other papers listed for him???? > Cara > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Lyn Nunn" <[email protected]> > To: <[email protected]> > Sent: Wednesday, March 15, 2006 4:35 PM > Subject: [WEX] trials in wexford 1820 > > >> Hi all >> >> I have a convict tried at Wexford for burglary in 1820.
