Hi Rishile    Well, that's great!  I've written about Catherine and Thompson Stoneham.   You can get the book online - there are links on the website (www. outrage-rogeroldfield.co.uk).   You could contact me via the website too if you wanted to.

I have a connection with George Edalji who was the first black man to be sucessfully cleared of charges brought about due to racism in the UK.  His case was taken up by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.  Unfortunately, he never received any compensation from the state.

There is even an book written about the case.

I was delighted to read this as I have written a book about the famous Edalji family, which also includes details on the Stoneham, Swann and Thompson families.  See www.outrage-rogeroldfield.co.uk.  What is your connection?
