Freemans Journal 1793

[Pilgrims Progress]

Hello, 

Wondering if any kind person with access to the -

Freemans Journal of Thurs 27 July 1793 page 3 

Could you please help me with a copy of the trial information related to Peter Crawley who was sentenced and transported for seven years to NSW, Aus in 1795.

Will be very grateful for any help, 

Many thanks in anticipation,

Pilgrims Progress

Hi dathai,

Thank you so much for that information. Unfortunately I already had these details. I was rather "cheekily" hoping for a copy of the original document regarding him. Thank you in any case for replying, 

Kind Regards,

Pilgrims Progress

mentioned on find my past but you have to pay to see this information

you could try writing to Freemans Journal or ask Dublin Library the Library might make a charge.

NSW should have his court records

Hi Rathmore, 

Thank you for those suggestions. I will follow them up.

Kind Regards,

I've looked at the paper for Thu 25/7/1793; Sat 27/7/1793; Thu 23/7/1795 & Sat 25/7/1795 and can't see anything for either of his names.  I've searched Crawley & Allen - still nothing.
However, it looks like you don't even get a mention unless it's a murder trial or you're sentenced to hang.
Are you in Australia? You can join the National Library of Australia which gives you access to a number of online resources including the Irish Newspaper Archive.

Hi ChristineM, 

It's concerning that an incorrect date was given for the information about the convict Peter Crawley-Robert Allen. I wanted to see a copy of the original for this very reason. We can't always rely on another's information. Back to the drawing board. 

Never-the-less I am very grateful you took time to search on my behalf. Many, many thanks,

Kind Regards,

Pilgrims Progress
