There are some court cases on Ancestry. If you want to give a name I can see if anything is on there. |

Thank you all very much for that info. There were 2 cousins that were transported, both of them tailors. I will try the searches you suggest to see if I can find them and if not I'll take up your kind offer Kathleen. |
