Convicts

Cornwall Family History Society Free Content

Uncover the history of Cornwall’s convicts with the Cornwall Family History Society. This resource provides detailed information about individuals transported or imprisoned, aiding in your genealogical research.

Female Convicts sent to Tasmania

During the latter part of 2014, the society was approached by the Female Convict Research Centre in Tasmania asking if we would consider helping them with their project. They had the names of a number of Cornish female convicts on their database and wanted our help in tracing their Cornish roots.

A list of these convicts was provided to us and our research volunteers began the task of trying to identify their families, and also providing trial information. Not all of the women could be traced, so the information on each one varies.

The .pdf document below lists the names of the convicts and there is a research sheet available for each.

If you recognise any of the names on the list and would like a FREE copy of the relevant sheet, please contact secretary@cornwallfhs.com, and we will arrange for this to be emailed to you.

Additional information can be found on the Female Convict Research Centre’s website: http://www.femaleconvicts.org.au/

Access is FREE, but you will need to create a log in and then follow the link ‘Search for convicts’

Copies of the research sheets are also available to view in our library.
