I have a copy of the Quarter sessions of an ancester i am trying to trace. He was sentenced on March 1st 1847 in Leicester aged 11, the sentence was ..To be transported beyond the sea for 7 yrs. I also have the Newspaper report which gives details of the crime ( stealing a till containing 7d ) and the sentence..transportation. |

Hi, yes i've tried Ancestry and numerous other sites, also i think it was Jonsey on here had a look for me but nothing comes up for around that time . His name was Thomas Palmer. I wondered if convicts were sent to any other country than Australia and who would hold the records of what happened to them after sentencing. |

No it didnt say where to just beyond the sea. I haven't looked for a marriage, never thought of that but it is possible because he turns up on the census in 1881 here in England and he and his partner never married, although her husband died in 1877. |
