Hi,
Joseph Barnes was a prisoner in the Adam Street Prison, Cardiff, according to the 1901 census. His age and place of birth suggest that he may be related to me. Is there any way I can find out any further details about him, from e.g. prison records or his original trial, that may identify him further?

Many thanks for the replies.

It is the marriage of the parents of Mary Jane Bushell that I am trying to find. Mary was born 6/4/1838 in Robert Street, Gravesend, to John Bushell and Ann Shepherd. The Informant on the birth certificate was the "occupier of House, Mary Shepherd", so it is interesting that one of the Maidstone marriage witnesses had the same initial. I don't have any knowledge of a George Leest but its another avenue to try.

It is my Ann Shepherd in the 1851 Census in Limehouse although her place of birth is a mystery. I Cannot find a Teston in Norfolk and although there is a Teston village in the district of Maidstone, I have always assumed that the handwriting looks more like Irstead, which is a village in Norfolk. However, I have tried and failed to find a Christening record in either Norfolk or Kent. Also I have not been able to find any trace of Ann after the 1851 census when she was only 32 years old.

Hello, I wonder if someone would be kind enough to look up for me in the 1861 census, William Stewart and his family who is in St Giles, St Gile South, piece no 170 and page no 101. I am hoping that William and his wife Sarah were both born in Shadwell.

Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards
