Trove has Australian newspapers online, well worth a look. It is free and dates back to the early 1800's.

Majm,
I was getting quite confused with all the helpful contributions I was getting on here, but thanks so much for clearing things up for me.  I read somewhere that a partner in crime to John BROOKS back in Felmersham in 1823, a 29 year old Robert COSTIN, who was committed to jail with John B but then discharged after further examination, was 2 years later sentenced to hang for sheep stealing, commuted to 7 years transportation too.  A  17 year old George COSTIN, presumably a relative or even younger brother was also sentenced to transportation to life for a series of similar crimes in 1825.  But 28 years later he apparently returned to Felmersham a well-off man. 
The differing fortunes of a tiny place such as Felmersham in the desperate agricultural times of the 1820's in rural England...

Hi there,

Not everyone who reads these threads has current subs to FindMyPast or Ancestry,  any chance of an alternative, please?

I will see if I have any mentions of COSTIN  ;D
