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'!

Those of us down under can usually find  one or two!  Very dodgy folks - one of mine stole a handkerchief -  7 years

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

or boredom..... we have a lot of teenage crime here and it seems to always boil down to that they were bored.........poor dears...they should bring back work farms they wouldn't be bored then.

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!!
