London Convicts in Britain and Australia

The website "Digital Panopticon" gives a wealth of information about London, England convicts from the Old Bailey (about 90,000 of them). The database is name searchable and hits often have links to original sources.

In addition to the name search capability, the site offers historical background on topics such as prison ships, pardons, etc.
