Does anyone here have access to the Wiltshire Petty and quarter session courts index?
I need someone to check a name for me.

Give it a try!

In the splendid new Record Office in Chippenham, they have about six volumes entitled "Rough Justice", These volumes are divided into Goodies & Baddies. Sounds as if this might be what you are looking for. Unfortunately I don't live anywhere near Chippenham so cannot help but their 'phone number is 01249705500.
Good luck, Toby.

If anyone does have access to the index I am trying to find information about George/Jacob Hemmens/Hemens who disappeared in 1861 when he was living in Weston Super Mare. It is possible that he re-appears in 1881 in Bradford on Avon, though I'm suspicious of this census entry. He married Julia Drewett in Westbury [5a 224] in 1884.
Was he imprisoned for all this time?
