Stafford Assizes records for 15 Mar 1821
« on: Saturday 09 February 08 12:17 GMT (UK) »
Does anyone know if these records are available? Or maybe a newspaper report?

I am looking for William Bolton who was transported to Tasmania for life for the crime of Sacrilege. He was about 49 years old and apparently a native of Birmingham.

Thank you
