Title: Sussex Weekly Advertiser 1807
Post by: pbootes on Monday 11 September 06 23:08 BST (UK)
I have a partial transcript of an article in the Sussex Weekly Advertiser March 16th 1807 page 3 column 2 regarding the trial of prisoners at Horsham Assizes. Can anyone access this resource and let me know the details regarding one Richard Boots who was condemned to death, later pardoned (and transported to Australia in 1811). Probably a sticky topic.

Hi

Did you ever get the info on Richard Boots? I would like a copy if you have it I have found that he is  my paternal relative.

Thanks

Hello Marian, I've not followed this up yet. I was wondering whether this Richard is the Richard Boots bap 1759 Northiam of James Boots and Mary Ranger. There is also a Richard Boots = Catharine Fearon in New South Wales, AUS with Richard dying 1835 and Catherine 1832 both NSW. This Richard was transported but gained a conditional pardon in 1821. He's the only Richard that fits. Another Richard Boots married Jane Heselman in 1787 Salehurst, and I was wondering if details of the case could establish whether he was the Northian or Salehurst Richard. I would be pleased to see your descent. Regard, Paul. PS - I'll reply to your post I received on Genes Reunited.

I think mine was the father of William Boots born in Highworth.  Does that help I do not know who he married.  Are you the same Paul as on Genes Reunited?

Regards
Marian

That would be Richard Boots = Keziah Titchener, Highworth, Wiltshire - not suitable for this Sussex board - email me direct. Paul.
