Hi Noelene
This website may help you start your search in Australia
http://carmen.murdoch.edu.au/community/dps/convicts/ There are a lot of
sites with convict lists that are searchable.
The Court records and newspaper clippings may be held in the Powys Record
Office or the County Archives.
http://archives.powys.gov.uk/ . Some-one
else would be able to help you better than I on that one.
Best wishes for your search

Subject: Re: Newspaper article 1836/Montgomery.
Hello All
I wonder if anyone can tell me or point me in the right direction. I'm
wanting
to find out if there would have been an article in the newspaper for
someone charged in the Montgomery Quarter Sessions for housebreaking, and
also if there would be anything on when he was sentenced to be transported
to Australia. Someone on one of the other lists has found newspaper
articles on their ancestor which tells him which hulk he was sent to and
where etc.
My fellow was Richard JONES alias BULLOCK (yep that's right) and he was
sentenced in the above on 10 June 1836 for 7 years. He apparently had a
former conviction for 4 months but I'm unable so far to find out what that
was all about.
Any advice welcomed, looking forward to hearing from you.
