HEADLINES OF OLD


ABSCONDED CONVICTS  Trove Tuesday 31st Aug 2021, great details re physical appearance, details re names-ship-position-employer… This first list includes the prisoner's number, then their occupation/trade, followed by physical description, including any identifying posts such as tattoos, deformities, etc.  They also give their address and on what date the convict absconded. Not all lists give so much detail, so these are like gold to researchers.

Feel free to share, the title is the link.
