I believe the 1901 census means that he was an engineman at a convict prison not that he was a convict. He was actually living at 50 Easton Rd., Portland.

richard and sarah had a daughter called sarah mary jane carter that married thomas harcourt in 1898 i think and thomas harcourt could of been called thomas harcott and i think he was born in 1870, 45 abbey street east leicester .

Thank you all for the replies, im still a bit confused now as on one bit it says richard was a prison wardon then on another it says he was a convict, so sarah was not in prison but richard had somthing to do with the prison :-S :-S :-S

Couldn't understand why I couldn't find that, Lindsey. I see now Bligden instead of Bligdon.

Is this correct family?

Are we looking in England here as I can see nothing obvious at the moment?

Can't find a marriage of Sarah Bligdon to a Carter. Perhaps she was previously married? What was Mr. Carter;s first name?

i think she was born 29. 05.1855 dorset ,
