People arrested & victims of crime: Charters Towers (Queensland)

This page lists names of offenders and victims of crime from Charters Towers watchhouse charge books for various dates between 1895 and 1899. These records are useful for genealogy and local history.

The names include people charged at Charters Towers, prisoners in the watchhouse overnight en route from other places including Hughenden, Winton and Pentland (some bound for prison in Townsville), victims, and neglected children taken into custody.

Details given in the original source generally include date and hour arrested;  prisoner's name, age, occupation, country or State of origin, religion and level of educationoffence;  property found on prisoner;  signature of person receiving the property (often the prisoner);  how the case was disposed of (fine, imprisonment, discharged, remanded, sent to asylum / hospital, committed for sentence at which court and when);  occasionally bail details and previous convictions. For prisoners en route there is less information.

For people mentioned in watchhouse charge books, more details are often in Court, prison and mental asylum records, criminal depositions, murder files, Police Gazettes and other police records.

Research / Copying Service

Genealogy is my business (not just a hobby), and I've spent over 35 years learning about (and indexing) original records, so I charge fees for my time (to consult my index, travel to a record office, find the bundle/volume and file/page, obtain copies and send them to you).

You don't pay for '(see...)' cross-references. For example, if the list said
    BLOGGS Joe
    BLOGGS Joe
    BLOGGS Joseph (see BLOGGS Joe)
then you'd request '2 x BLOGGS Joe' and pay for 2 entries (not 3, because the 3rd entry is just a cross-reference).

Option No.1:  Charters Towers Watchhouse INDEX: Record Series & Quote.

$4 for one entry, plus $2 for each additional entry (same name or different names). This option is especially useful for common names. If you get details from my index, you will sometimes see that the record must be for a different person with the same name, and you won't waste money ordering a copy that's irrelevant.

What I'll tell you (from my index):

To send a request, follow these steps:

  1. Calculate the cost ($4 for one entry, plus $2 each for extras).
  2. Send payment by bank deposit or PayPal as explained here (opens in a new window).
  3. In an email, type 'Charters Towers Watchhouse INDEX: record series & quote', and...
  4. List the entries you want. Don't send biographical details - just the names.
  5. In your email, tell me the payment date, amount and method, and (if you have one) an alternative email address.
  6. Send your email to the address shown on the payment page.

Option No.2:  Charters Towers Watchhouse: Digital COPY.

The cost will depend on the format of the record to be copied, so use the Record Series/Quote service above. If you prefer to obtain a copy yourself, source references are in 'Index to Persons Arrested and Victims of Crime, Qld: Charters Towers pre-1900'. It's available as an e-book in PDF format.

Other Suggestions

Police Gazettes.

Prison records.

Published indexes (Charters Towers Gaol Discharge Book 1890-1901; Charters Towers Jurors and Witnesses Index 1920-1937; Charters Towers miners homestead leases 1874-1887).

Court, prison and mental asylum records, criminal depositions, murder files, other police records, etc (described on this site or in my book Tips for Queensland Research).

Specialist Indexes in Australia: a genealogist's guide mentions an index to Charters Towers Rate Books and Valuation Registers.
