I am researching Madeline Irene Wiltshire who was born in 1902 and wondered if anyone could help with locating a picture of her from police gazettes.
Apparently she was arrested 4 times under aliases. I have her Criminal Record Office number and the date of her offences, but I want to try and see if there is a picture of her in Police Supplement A or any details about her offences (I think all 4 were for soliciting) and whether she served any prison time. The Information I have:
CRO number 10074/24
16.06.1924 arrested as Alice Wiltshire
19.06.1924 arrested as Alice Wiltshire
15.04.1926 arrested as Hilda Carson
17.10.1926 arrested as Marie Osborne
I have looked on Ancestry and FindMyPast and can't find Police Supplement A or Gazettes for these dates that have been digitised. Does anyone know anywhere else that I can view digitised copies where I might be able to find a picture of her? I'm in Australia so can't go in person to view the Gazettes at the National Archives.
She died in 1927 and there is a picture of her in a newspaper, but the quality of the image is so poor that you can't see her that well!

Is this image any better?
(image is a snippet from the Coroner's report in the Reynold's Newspaper, 15th May 1927)

Hi AllanUK,
thanks, this image is slightly clearer than the one I have. I guess she must have very dark hair as it blends very well with the background!
