Limitations to Irish Convict Database

The National Archives of Ireland are to be commended for placing their searchable database on the net.

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
RECORDS NOT INCLUDED

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.
