Could SKS tell me where to write to find out if John Whisker was sent to WA as a convict. He was tried at Norfolk Quarter Sessions, Swaffham, on 14 Jan, 1852, and sentenced to 10 years, for stealing a shovel. (I have several shovels in my garden shed- hereditary perhaps?) John's older brother, William Whisker, my ancestor, was sentenced to 10 years transportation in 1842 and sent to Tasmania and all Whiskers there are his family.

Thanks in advance,
Royalene, Wyong, N.S.W.
