Victorian Prisoner Index 1850 - 1900

(Records from the State of Victoria, Australia)

Transcribed by Dale McDonell from microfiche indexes.
We understand that the original indexes were completed by the late Marion Button.

Please note: The transcriptions are as found on the microfiche. No further details are available from the transcriber. Many are truncated. You must go to the original sources from which these indexes were compiled (see ref. numbers and dates) for further details. VPRS-Unit reference numbers are a mystery to me, but possibly where the prisoner served his time. The State Library of Victoria would be a good place to start. Italics in brackets with my initials are this transcribers clarifying comments. E.g: (Bendigo. D.M.), (sic), etc. Indication of dates would, I think, best be judged by the prisoner number - lower the number, earlier the incarceration.
