William Case
« on: Tuesday 25 September 07 15:27 BST (UK) »

Hi
Does anyone have links to a William Case who was tried at the Cambridge Assizes in 1840, found guilty and transported for life to Tasmania aboard the Asia (6th voyage) in 1841?

There is a slim chance he may be the William Case I am looking for, but I need more information on him to prove this link.

Thanks.
Jan

Hi Ozybob

Yes, that's the one that was transported from England after his trial in Cambridge. BUT I don't know if he's mine!

I know someone in Tasmania who will look up the convict papers for me and maybe his date of birth will be given, etc.

Thanks for your help.
Jan

Hello Jan, I was looking for an Ancestor of mine from Bletsoe/Thurleigh who had a possible entry in the Bedford Gaol register in 1844. He was tried & convicted, then placed in Millbank prison before he was shipped off to Van Diemen's Land in 1844. There was no clues in the Bedford gaol register, or the newspaer report of the trial, or in the Millbank prison registers that listed him, or on the convict ship William Jardine's manifest - that he was mine.

So next step was to get the convict records from the Tasmanian Archives where he had an entry. 6 weeks later & still $AU 22 to pay, the paperwork arrived. Although it lists his age - not date of birth, & native town - which was just Near Bedford; under 'remarks' it lists his 4 brothers' names - which match my tree - so I am now convinced I have the right person.

So request your details & see what you get.

All the best John

Hi John

It is always helpful if someone else has had a similar problem and can say what they did to resolve it. Thanks for the information. I have a distant relative with whom I am doing this research who lives in Tasmania so that will give him the incentive to go and look see what he can find.

Many thanks.
Jan
