Hi Paul, Sue here, I believe you were interested in my Gt Gt Gt Grandmother Georgina Hembers brother,  I am not sure if I told you in previous messages  but I sent off for the court papers from Gloucestershire, and they stated that Hember was well known to the police for fighting etc., but that he stole a clothes prop from a neighbour and also some rabbits that is why he was sentenced to Dartmoor Prison, it gave his description as swarthy, he had also had a fight with a policeman previously to his sentencing, so he had "form" it was around about Christmas time when he stole the prop, I thought to myself perhaps they used it as fuel to cook the rabbits on, times were hard, but what a harsh sentence for such a small crime.  Hope that helps
