Title: Thomas Styles
Post by: styles05 on Monday 01 June 09 20:23 BST (UK)

Thomas Styles born 1793, was brought before the Essex Assizes charged with burglary at Latton.
The assizes were held at Chelmsford on 13/03/1812. Thomas was found guilty and was executed 28/03/1812.  He was nineteen.
I found this information from the Chelmsford Chronicle but have no details of the actual assizes.  What did he steal, was violence used?
The Essex Assizes are not at the Essex Record Office but at the TNA.  I am unable to get to the TNA and wonder if anyone has any ideas how I can find the details?
Thomas was my husband's direct ancestor.
Many thanks

Yes. I am ashamed to say It is the same one. I realised yesterday that it was in the wrong place and posted it again.  I will try to cancel it.
The new version has more information as I visited the ERO last week and found the Chelmsford Chronicle with some details.
