The Shakespeare Family History Site

A copy of The Convicts Register is held in Coventry Archives under Reference 1755/1. This gives further information about the convicts including usually their photograph and sometimes details of their convictions.
The page shown against each name refers to the page in the register. For a few names no page is shown as it is known to be missing.
Some convicts had aliases and these have been included in the index.
