Hi there from Australia

Was wondering why my membership has been removed, was it because I hadnt used the site for about 3 months, if so must apologise-  This afternoon I was trying to find my previous message on the site- as thanks to the reply given I was able to look up the Belfast Newsletter- was going to thank the person and ask another question for my GGGrandfather William Campbell- the info was on site about a week ago however now says membership removed when I browse through the memebers names .

Anyway have fouund William Campbell , Belfast Newsletter  April 2 1830,-"for stealing Aug last year (1829) at Banbridge a sum of money  from the person of Patrick Hillan-  guilty and to be transported for 7 years"

Would I have to find who looks after  County Down to see if more detailed records are available or the  offence and / or trial

Thanks

George

    ~~I am looking for info on my great great grandfather William Campbell b around 1811, was tried  at Carrickfergus Castle 1 May 1830 for stealing tools and sent to Australia for 7 years aboard the convict ship Asia (8)  aka Asia V(II). which sailed from Cork 6 August 1831 and arrived Sydney 2 December 1831

     

    Reply came back dated 13 October which ended-
