Nah, the handwriting is much more like Carhill and there are references to Carhill, St Mary's Clonmell, Tipperary in the Tithe Applotments

That's interesting Valerie, as Clonmel is close to where I am hoping they are from.

Are you sure you want this Carol.........Irish research drives me nuts. I guess I've been spoiled with the wealth of information at the Australian end, lol.

Okay, here's what I know so far..............
Thomas Halfpenny b abt 1801, Tipperary. Convicted June 1841, Tipperary, transported  Nov 1841 age 40 on the Richard Webb. Convict indents stated wife Mary, 1 brother (no name), 6 children, all girls.

Mary Halfpenny - maiden name unknown as yet. b abt 1811. Convicted December 1841 Tipperary, transported August 1842 age 31 on the Hope. Five daughters accompanied her on the voyage - Johanna b 1830, Ellen b 1833, Margaret b 1836, Mary b 1838 and Catherine b 1840. A 6th daughter was left behind who I assume was the eldest child. I have no records for the girls births or baptisms - their ages are from orphanage records in Tasmania.

I have found 2 adjoining tithe applotments for Monkstown, Innishoughaght for 1826 belonging to a William and Thomas Halfpenny. Thomas was listed as a labourer on his indents. Shame they did not mention the brothers name.

Please don't go to too much trouble, but if you get bored...........lol Any help is very much appreciated. Cheers, Sharon :)

They would have been sent to the 'Sessions' by the equivalent of the Magistrates court.

In England prior to the advent of the Crown Court cases could be sent by the Magistrates  to Quarter Sessions ( Circuit judge)or the Assize Court (High Court Judge) depending on the seriousness of the offence.

Thanks James. It definitely read as sessions, not assizes - basically petty theft of clothing, so not overly serious.

Will take a look at that link and see if I can find anything useful - Thanks Carol.

I have just found her 'crime' in the Irish Prison Registers on Find My Past.as you say stealing a length of cloth,but the 1841 offence was her 3rd time.

They also have a list of the petty sessions,but no Mary Halfpenny in them before 1851.

Really ??? Third offense, - should I be mortified at that ??? I'm surprised they had not transported her earlier. I don't supposed they mentioned any areas ???
