Title: Isaac Culling trial 1855
Post by: Mrs Lizzy on Tuesday 06 September 11 13:37 BST (UK)

Isaac Culling, a farmer, was my 5 x great grandfather.  He was born in Freethorpe and later lived in Yelverton.  I have found a record that seems to indicate that an Isaac Culling was tried and imprisoned in March 1855.  This record on Ancestry is locked for me, as I don't have the right membership.

Is anyone else able to look this up for me and let me know if it seems to relate to "my" Isaac please?  Although I think it would be worth upgrading my membership to Worldwide, I am not sure how it will be before my husband will agree!

Many thanks.

Liz

Thanks very much, Maudarby.  He sounds charming, doesn't he? My Isaac was a farmer and born about 1781, so thankfully it doesn't sound as if this is the same one!  Phew! The family escutcheon escapes unblemished!

This refers to "your" Isaac

On the 18th inst (Dec) 1864 at Philadelphia, in this city, in his 86th year Mr Isaac Culling, many years a farmer at Yelverton.
