The Irish Transportation records cover the following:

1. Transportation Registers for period 1836-1857
2. Prisioners' Petitions & Cases 1788-1836
3. State Prisoners' Petitions 1798-99

Be aware that, as at time of writing, only 1 and 2 are covered by the database. The convict indents, available in hard copy or in microform at the Archives Office of New South Wales and other places, are not included in the database.

National Archives of Ireland website advises that all transportation registers compiled before 1836 were destroyed in the four Courts fire of June 1922, therefore if a person was convicted before 1836, but was not subject of a petition, he or she will not appear in the database.
