David PUGH Transported 1830? and 1843
« on: Friday 14 August 09 16:10 UTC (UK) »
I'm looking for information about David Pugh who was transported as a result of his case heard at Buckinghamshire Quarter Sessions 11th July,1829. He was to be transported again in 1843, which I have lots of info about. Does anyone know if repeat transportation was common?

The most likely reason is that he never actually went.  Prisoners were held in prisons or often on hulks, prison ships, for many years (remember Great Expections?) and then if their crimes were not too bad, released back into the community.  It would be unusual for him to be able to return, unless he joined the navy and worked his passage.  Kew hold records of prisoners waiting to be transported.

Thanks v much, I didn't realise that. But we do have his record of entry in NSW and his Cert of Freedom in 1840 so he did go. Mind you he was back again in 1843! I don't know how common it was to be sent twice.
