What exactly are you looking for and what time period?

The National Archives have 8 Guides for Prisons and Prisoners records http://www.rootschat.com/links/01gpa/  and 25 Guides for Courts of Law records http://www.rootschat.com/links/01gpb/
There are also 8 Guides for Convict Records http://www.rootschat.com/links/01gpc/

Thankyou for replying jaywit. John marston was transported on the indefatigable and died in Tasmania in 1827. I'm looking for his birthplace if possible. There is some online info but I need to verify it .   kind regards, Sue.

Any man sentenced in Nottingham would have been held here.

I'm not sure but probably late 1700 to 1805. Thankyou for your time but George isn't my family. I think I will send a letter to the offices to see if they can verify his birthplace. Thankyou very much for your help jaywit. Kind regards, Sue
