Does anyone know what Assizes records are held by TNA?
I've found a William Poole, who may be one of mine, who was convicted at Leicester Assizes on 25/3/1822 and sentenced to transportation for life. He was sent to Van Diemens Land (Tasmania).
Unfortunately the entries on Ancestry don't show his age, so I can't be sure if he's my William, and I haven't found any marriage or death in Tasmania, although he apparently applied for permission to marry in 1837. I've contacted the Leicestershire Records Office, but they don't hold any Assize records for that year, and say they may be held by TNA.
Anyone know what they have? I've tried searching the TNA site, but I can't find him there.
