National Archives of Ireland Transportation Records

The National Archives of Ireland has a database of convicts transported from Ireland to Australia from 1788 to 1868. It's available at http://www.nationalarchives.ie/search01.html .

The records are not complete but this database is still substantial. A search for smith found 313 results. Information in the database includes name, age, sex, alias (if any), place of trial, place of imprisonment, crime description and sentence (descriptions vary in their thoroughness), ship name, document and microfilm references, and comments. Not every entry has all information available.
