Help Please! James William Bell [closed]

Question

It would be greatly appeciated if someone who has access to Ancestry.com, could look up the Gaol Records for James William Bell (Bell-42311). I have added the information about him I found on Trove, and wondered if the Gaol Records shed more light on his life, place of birth, and what became of him. 

Thank you for any help, Diane

There are some more records, so I will add more.  Multiple people since ages are not the same. They are similar, but some have a little more info.  You have a sharing image, so you can review it that way, also.

Edited to change the description because they each had a different Residence year.
