Norfolk Island remained under the control of New South Wales, to which colony transportation ceased in 1840, until the island was transferred to Tasmanian jurisdiction in September 1844.
This register, signed by the Principal Superintendent of Convicts of New South Wales, lists all the 590 convicts on the island just before the transfer took place. Details given are ship (to New South Wales), particulars of original conviction (where, when and offence), trade or calling, particulars of colonial conviction (Court, where, when and offence), sentence and when sent to Norfolk Island. The dates in this latter column vary from 1830 to 1844.
These records are part of the holdings of the Tasmanian Archives
