Hi, how can I find the Surrey Assizes records for Judith Myers convicted for a term of 7 years on 23 March 1820. She arrived on the Morley in New South Wales, Australia. It sailed on 17th May 1820. (Sorry, spelt Surrey incorrectly in the title - fixed it for you. Caroline. ).

Thanks Linda. I've info for her 'husband', Frederick, but nothing on her from Surrey. In April 1818, Frederick was arrested with four others on a charge of stealing 200lbs of lead valued at 20 Shillings from a dwelling house in Mortimer Terrace, Kentish Town, London. He appeared in court at Middlesex Gaol Delivery on 6 May 1818 and was convicted of larceny. Transported to Van Diemens Land for 7 years. In the ‘remarks’ column of the Criminal Register it says ‘In Newgate (Prison) before’.
Thanks Caroline!Last edited by naomiatt; 06-04-12, 06:23.

My GGGGGrandfather was transported to Australia and then onto Van Diemans Land in 1803 for life, for stealing a sheep. It was the first settlement there and there is a big monument in Hobart with the names of all the people on that first ship and his name is there too.
Harsh sentences in those days.
Hope you manage to find out some more information about Judith Myers
