Staffordshire / Re: finding the parents of James & Abraham Slack
« on: Friday 03 July 20 14:48 BST (UK) »
Hi
I have James Slack as a 4th great grandfather. He was born in 1811 in Staffordshire and died in 1883 in the Chell Workhouse at the age of 72. He had quite a colourful life. He was convicted of 'feloniously demolishing an office', it seems he was a 'chartist'. He was sent to Tasmania on the John Renwick Hulk Convict ship in 1942 and returned in 1848 and continued living with his wife Dinah Tatler. Ive taken a few wrong turns in finding his parents but all trace back to Ipstones in Staffordshire in the 1600's.
There were a few James Slacks in Staffordshire. Have you got any other information? Thanks
