Help needed deciphering prison hulk register please...
« on: Wednesday 09 January 13 05:58 GMT (UK) »
Hi all,

Could anyone help me decipher the entry for Daniel Ferebee aged 42 in the following link from the Ancestry UK, Prison Hulk Registers and Letter Books, 1802-1849 please.

http://search.ancestry.co.uk/iexec?htx=View&r=5538&dbid=1989&iid=31791_221379-00458&fn=Daniel&ln=Ferebee&st=r&ssrc=pt_t38501082_p19244997784&pid=246690


What I think it says so far is:

Daniel Ferebee,  42,  Larceny xxxxx,   Gloucester,  6th,   10,  M, Both,  Dyer,  Convicted before,  xxxxxx

Any help would be very much appreciated.  Thank you

 :)

...and of course I've put "previous conviction" when it should be "former conviction"  :-[   Sorry about that!

883, Daniel Ferebee, 42, Larceny & former Convictn, Gloucester, 6th (September)
1842, 10, M, Both imp(erfect), Dyer, Convicted before,,

Agree the two lines

 'Per Numa Bermuda
back 1842'

but cannot see that they apply to Daniel, I think the dittos may be for William on line 882.
