Title: Cruelty charges
Post by: Jae06 on Tuesday 04 September 18 11:06 BST (UK)

Hi I hope this is the right place but how would I go about finding any info on my great grandmother Bessie Clark who was sentenced to 1 month jail in Mar 1906 for cruelty in Bournemouth I think. Thanks heaps Jame  :)

Prosecuted by NSPCC for neglect of her children.

Newspaper reports:

Christchurch Times 3 March 1906 page 5 (a detailed report)

Western Gazette 2 March 1906 page 12 (very brief)

Thank you ShaunJ. Is there any way of finding out where she went? I can see the first newspaper article but not the second and it doesn’t say.
