Family History Beginners Board / Deportation
« on: Saturday 08 November 14 08:05 GMT (UK)  »
my great grandfather was recommended for deportation at Birmingham courts in 1914
where could i look up the record for this?
This was in a local newspaper.
His solicitor forwarded a petition for a
favourable reconsideration to the Home Secretary.
Any help appreciated, thanks.

Immigrants & Emigrants - General / Shooting in 1905
« on: Friday 03 August 07 17:22 BST (UK)  »
HI, my great grandfather who was Italian living in Birmingham, shot and killed someone in self defense at Aston [bham] in 1905, he served 3 months in Birmingham's Winson Green Prison and was then deported, i have searched through local papers for the whole of 1905 at B,ham library,looked at various websites, but to no avail,there is no one alive from that side of the family to ask what happened, his name was Giovanni Farina, any help or advice would be much appreciated, if you have seen this question on the net before, it is because i have posted it a lot of times, hoping for the one link to finding the answer.
ps i do not know the name of the person who was killed. Thanks.
