Lincoln convicts and prisoners

[jobarbra]

I'm looking into the possibility of having a relative sent to Tasmania about 1844, Thomas Mackinder and Ann Baldock imprisoned around the same time, guessing in Lincolnshire. I there anyway of finding out finer details? Not sure what would have happened to the children....maybe a work house?

Hi Jobarbra, I have these from the State Library of Queensland.
I will try and see where they landed.

Hi Jobarbra. If you are interested in the name MACKINDER from Lincolnshire you may be interested in the letter in post 1 here John Mackinder did not sail with the 1820 settlers as far as I know.

Hi Jobarbra,
Thomas Mackinder's crime is detailed in the Lincolnshire Convicts database.
There's also a bit about Ann Baldock with his crime, but I haven't searched the database with Ann as a convict, so there may be some more info there.

How do I find out which prison she went to?? She would have also had a few kids?

From the Liconshire archives:
'Ann Baldock of Holbeach, widow, aged 31, was sentenced to 6 months imprisonment for receiving the stolen goods.

[Pam Downes]

Hi Jobarbra,
I would have thought that Ann would have been imprisoned in Lincoln, but it's always dangerous to assume.
Lincolnshire Archives might be able to provide more information. Send them the link to Thomas' web page, as that lists all the documents. You should also be able to order (copies of!) those documents for yourself. Archives will be able to advise you of the cost. You can often have them put on CD for an extra few quid.

The part under remarks.............does the last sentance say absconded......then gassed??!

I would say he absconded on 14.7.50, and a notice for his return was published in the Tasmanian Gazette on 30.7.50.
