London & Middlesex Lookup Requests / Re: daniel stockwell, convicted old bailey 1818

Thanks Alan,

glad to see your reply... I have to wonder why a man would steal one boot. He sure paid a price for a bit of a lark. Thanks again, Bea.

London & Middlesex Lookup Requests / daniel stockwell, convicted old bailey 1818

Daniel was convicted of burglary, theft, Jan. 1818.

He was sentenced to death, but was recommended to mercy, and was transported to Australia, leaving in July 1818, arriving Dec. 1818.

Would this commutation have been known at the time of his conviction, or would he have had to wait to know that he was not condemned to die, until July, when the transportation happened?

Thanks, Bea.

London & Middlesex Resources / Re: court records, 1916, poisoning at Kensington

More thanks offered. The second account reports directly on the inquest, and the three articles I have read are all similar.

My mother and her siblings were young and so protected from the details. I am glad to have finally discovered what happened.

Thanks, yes I read the account in the Times, it only mentioned the decision at the end of the article, and then briefly.

Thanks for the response. Bea

London & Middlesex Resources / court records, 1916, poisoning at Kensington
« on: Monday 29 July 24 04:32 BST (UK)  »
Dear researchers,

I would like to know if records of this court case are available...

In 1916, a chemist accidentally dispensed poison and as a result, my grandmother and another woman died.

I know there was no imprisonment and the incident was considered an accident, but i would still like to read the record, if that is possible.

Thanks,

Bea.

The Common Room / 1939 register
« on: Tuesday 25 June 24 00:15 BST (UK)  »
On an Ancestry person profile I have an incorrect 1939 register entry attached. It's for someone of the same name but the wrong person.

Will someone please tell me the steps to remove it?

Thanks, Bea.

Australia / Re: 1836 transported 7 years... children on board?
« on: Saturday 01 June 24 12:23 BST (UK)  »
Thank you all, esp. for the internet resources, yet to check them out.

Yes, I have looked at family trees on Ancestry, seemed like a good resource. Yes, Neale1961, now I am not sure if the William I have been tracing is actually the one who wss my gg. grandfather. If it turns out that way, I am sorry you have all been to so much trouble over it.

I have spent a lot of time looking for William and his daughter Lily. with nothing definite forthcoming, it seemed that if either of them could not be found, then maybe they had moved out of UK. Then it made sense that either they arranged an expensive and disruptive voyage themselves, or that they may have been transported here (to Aus).

Will follow up all your idess, thanks, lasswade.
