I have been doing my family history for a while now but have come to a halt... I am trying to find any info on WILLIAM ARCHER he was born in 1812 and lived in Salop?? i do not know if he was born there, i know he lived there as it says so on his convict records, he was transported to tasmania at the age of fifteen.
Really desperate to find out if he was born in Salop or else where also if possible try and find his parents, anybody who thinks they might be able to help in any way please get in touch... thankyou so much.

Hi...
Have you got the marriage cert and if so does it name a parent?
I will have a dig about to find out about the boat.

Babajack, where was William tried for his crimes? If you can work that out from his paperwork (it will most likely be an Assizes or a Quarter Sessions) then you may get some more info about him from the trial records - if you are VERY lucky it will give you something about his birthplace, home or parentage, but that's not been my experience unfortunately 
Prue

Can you scan the top right and bottom right bits only, so we can read the rest of the text that's there?
