Membership removed

AntrimAntrim (Antrim)

Hi there from Australia

Was wondering why my membership has been removed, was it because I hadnt used the site for about 3 months, if so must apologise- This afternoon I was trying to find my previous message on the site- as thanks to the reply given I was able to look up the Belfast Newsletter- was going to thank the person and ask another question for my GGGrandfather William Campbell- the info was on site about a week ago however now says membership removed when I browse through the memebers names .

Anyway have fouund William Campbell , Belfast Newsletter April 2 1830,-"for stealing Aug last year (1829) at Banbridge a sum of money from the person of Patrick Hillan- guilty and to be transported for 7 years"

Would I have to find who looks after County Down to see if more detailed records are available or the offence and / or trial

Thanks

Hi there

Thanks for your reply

My original message on 4 october was in part-

~~I am looking for info on my great great grandfather William Campbell b around 1811, was tried at Carrickfergus Castle 1 May 1830 for stealing tools and sent to Australia for 7 years aboard the convict ship Asia (8) aka Asia V(II). which sailed from Cork 6 August 1831 and arrived Sydney 2 December 1831

Reply came back dated 13 October which ended-

~~You may need a to get a researcher to look these up for you.
