Convict trial records
« on: Tuesday 12 December 17 08:04 GMT (UK) »
Can some kind soul provide some help?
My search is to locate any trial information for; Elizabeth FULLERON who was born about 1815 in Londonderry.
By 1837 she had served 3 months in prison when she was arrested for the second time. She was tried found guilty of vagrancy and sentenced to seven years transportation.
On the 29 November 1837 she was transported per the “Diamond” out of Cork to Australia.
After arrival she went on to lead a full life where she became a nurse dying in 1872.
I have located her records in Australia.
Can anyone give some advice how or where I may be able to locate Irish records covering her trial/trials?
Being in Australia access to local Irish Records may be difficult, but any assistance information or direction would be greatly appreciated.

You may find something in the Irish Transportation Records.
I know that SAG in Sydney has these, if you can get access.
Your profile doesn't say where you are, but if in Oz, your state library may have them too.

Yes should be Fullerton

Have not had any success in OZ with trial record perhaps due case nature ?

Thanks
