Thanks- I'll look into that.
May be worth the subs
I find that the newspapers that come with Ancestry additional subs seem to be ideal for America and Canada but not so much for UK.

We guessed as much that it was an accidental incident due to the sentence
But a fascinating event that ended so tragically

The railway link explains a lot to why he was so far from home- thanks ShaunJ

Hi Kay99,
Thanks for the quick reply! Very interesting!!

By the term 'inculpated' does this mean that he was not to blame?

Is there an online link to the Poole & Dorset Herald newspaper to see if I can find the background to this story?

Dorset / Manslaughter mystery
« on: Wednesday 04 November 20 12:58 GMT (UK)  »
Hi all,
Whilst researching my partners past we came across this in her family history
Her 3rd Great Grandfather, Joseph Gates from Simpton, Buckinghamshire
According to the Dorset, England, Calendars of Prisoners, 1854-1904, was jailed for 3 days in Nov 1859, at the age of 28, after pleading guilty to manslaughter of Thomas Armstrong in Buckhorn Weston, Dorset.
We found Thomas Armstrong's burial record as 25 Nov 1858 in Buckhorn-Weston, Dorset
However we can find no other details to the nature of the event- we assume an accident due to the short duration of imprisonment. And, why he was there. We think his occupation was a brick maker?!
Any ideas or info on where I may obtain this information would be appreciated.
Thanks

Thanks Sarah for sorting the email issue out- very much appreciated. Thanks Ray,
I've also had a look as well for the documentary. Found lots of interesting information.
It's amazing how popular these teams were and the crowd numbers obviously reflected this- still can't believe the FA put the ban in place.

The documentary sounds fascinating!!
My mother played for the Wellington Fox's Factory team from Wellington, Somerset in the 1960s but I didn't realise (in my ignorance) that the history of women's football went back this far, facinating in the current light of things. Thanks I'll look into this.

Hi Ray,
Thanks for the info.
I'll give them a go and see what I can get.

Yeah, I have only recently returned to Rootschat. I've tried resetting my email and changing it but it still displays the same message!
