Janice, Delighted...............you have absolutely solved my problem. I have "newspapers" with my FMP subscription but this report did not appear. Could I be cheeky and ask for a chapter and verse source, please!!! A preliminary search does not confirm he was transported as Williams...

The Pardon was granted as a result of the father's petition for clemency on his son's behalf and it is the petition that confirmed his father's name as "Timothy"

Thank you for your help. I found his father's name from a non-family source with no actual personal details. This could be a case of the famous brickwall(s)!!! TC3

Good Morning, Thank you everyone for your efforts. I'm resigned to the thought that William BLACKHAM does not want to be found!!!! TC3

Thank you for continuing to search. TC3

Yes.......... "Wm. Blackham".......correct age and (?) place of birth. TC3

Thank you for the research........there is one possibility in the 1881 Census (RG11/3018/68, p.28) countering emigration or early death. TC3

Evening TIA, My interest is purely academic. He is one of the 4,080 juvenile offenders who passed through Parkhurst Prison 1838-1864 and for whom I'm researching a PhD, analysing whether or not the prison was successful as a reformatory. My modus operandi is to create a biography for each...

Hello TIA, I hope the information was helpful. Do you have any details for him at all after 1857? I'm sorry but James WHITEHOUSE is not familiar to me. TC3

Thank you all for your inputs. I am extremely grateful. Nevertheless, after 1848 John ELWELL still remains totally elusive and I believe it sensible, as a temporary measure, to add him to the pending tray!! For the moment, TC3

Thank you for all your inputs. There are two aspects that I should answer specifically: (1): The John ELWELL transported to Port Philip was sentenced in 1845 in Lancaster and transported in 1847: and (2): The information for Louisa ROBERTS is courtesy of The National Archives Ref: HO13...

This person was "JAMES" ELWELL and the newspaper incorrectly reported him as "JOHN"

Hello, John ELWELL was sentenced to 10 years penal servitude on 21/10/1842 at the Birmingham Boro' Sessions. He was pardoned on 25/09/1848, largely due to the submissions of Mrs Louisa Roberts, a Hairdresser, 34 Bishopgate Street, Five Ways , Birmingham. Part of her submission was that she...
