Don't know about anyone else - but I'm hoping for one!  My mostly ag. labs. appear to have hardworking honest souls.  Someone must have been a bit 'dodgy'!

Edit: Old Bailey is now back on (well, I had no problems) and they say:

"What's New?
Trials between November 1834 and April 1913 and the Ordinary of Newgate's Accounts between 1690 and 1772 have now been added."

Hi all,

Have just spent a couple of hours hunting and only found policemen or jurymen and they don't give any details, addresses etc.

Ah well, must go and polish the family halo!!!  Seriously though, I do think sentences these days are too soft but then - well.  Life for a handkerchief!  And I think a lot of the crime then was because of need and today it is for greed.

Regards,
Abiam

Must have been sexist - even in those days Di - might as well have been life, seeing as they sent them to Australia - my lass was on the "floating brothel" - the Lady Juliana. She left England with one child and had 2 shortly after she landed! Then met up with a first fleeter and they had 5 between them - one of whom is my husband's ggg grandfather.

Nice to see the updates, impressive that it was done on time. I'm sure I had a few folks to look up for some of my friends I have been researching for. I should get organised  ::)

Great to know that the site has been updated!  Will have to do some searching.  I don't know how I'd cope without Rootschatters to tell me these things!!  ;D ;D
