Graveyards and Gravestones / grave at Streatham Park Cemetery, London
« on: Thursday 05 March 26 09:44 GMT (UK) »
I was hoping that someone lives nearby to Streatham Park Cemetery and could help me confirm if there is a grave for Madeline Irene Wiltshire there? She died in 1927 aged 24.
Her death was a suspicious death (open verdict on murder/ suicide at inquest), so I am unsure if her grave would be marked if she is there. I can't seem to find any official log online to confirm she is buried there, but there is a police document that quotes her mother (Amy Milton) as saying "I am burying my daughter at Streatham Park tomorrow", and that is dated 4th or possibly 5th of May 1927.
I live in Australia, so would really love some help in tracking Madeline's grave down.
thank you!

The Common Room / UK Police Gazette/ Criminal Record help 1920s London
« on: Friday 31 January 25 09:33 GMT (UK) »
I'm hoping someone might be able to check in the 1924, 1926 and 1927 UK Police Gazette to help me make sense of the police record for a person that I am researching.
The person is Alice Wiltshire (alias Alice Woodroff, Hilda Carson and Marie Osborne).
My questions are:
- In her first conviction is says 'as Alice Wiltshire alias Alice Woodroff' does this mean she had a prior conviction under Alice Woodroff that isn't listed here?
- In her first conviction it says 'P.O. Act'- what does that mean?
-In her 2nd and 4th convictions it says she was fined 40 shillings (?) or one month/ 26 days- does this mean she served prison time? if so, how do I find out which prison?
- I am trying to verify the date of her 3rd conviction, as here it says 1926, but in the police statement for the officer who arrested her (that appears in in the inquest documents), the year is given as 1927, not 1926.
The dates for these records don't appear to be in FindMyPast or Ancestry, and a general search for all of these names in those websites doesn't get any hits for criminal registers etc. I live in Australia so don't have a way to check a UK archive myself. If anyone could help with making sense of this criminal record, I would greatly appreciate it.
thank you!

Hi AllanUK,
thanks, this image is slightly clearer than the one I have. I guess she must have very dark hair as it blends very well with the background!

The Common Room / Police Gazette UK record

I am researching Madeline Irene Wiltshire who was born in 1902 and wondered if anyone could help with locating a picture of her from police gazettes.
Apparently she was arrested 4 times under aliases. I have her Criminal Record Office number and the date of her offences, but I want to try and see if there is a picture of her in Police Supplement A or any details about her offences (I think all 4 were for soliciting) and whether she served any prison time. The Information I have:
CRO number 10074/24
16.06.1924 arrested as Alice Wiltshire
19.06.1924 arrested as Alice Wiltshire
15.04.1926 arrested as Hilda Carson
17.10.1926 arrested as Marie Osborne
I have looked on Ancestry and FindMyPast and can't find Police Supplement A or Gazettes for these dates that have been digitised. Does anyone know anywhere else that I can view digitised copies where I might be able to find a picture of her? I'm in Australia so can't go in person to view the Gazettes at the National Archives.
She died in 1927 and there is a picture of her in a newspaper, but the quality of the image is so poor that you can't see her that well!
