The life of a con man part 2

[deb usa]

Hi Spider

if you take out Edwin Turner and only leave Osbaldeston there ...you will get little snippets  ..... I can't see the whole book either.

I do think it refers to his trail with Sheriff S Foster Black ..... trees has already transcribed it from a newspaper.

Deb the book of portraits is out of copyright so can I use the photo? if so how can I copy it it and the title beloe it is not clear and I don't see a way of magnifying it other than using my hand held lens...joys of getting old

Well done jay wit thats a nice chunk of the jig saw in place
It would be great if Squire O was part of the family he seems a bit more respectable  

Version 4 of Family Historian arrived today cant help having a bit of a play with it

Trees I've got the image of the marriage cert. if you want it, PM me.

I can't find them after their marriage Deb any chance they came your way? I also saw James was a cane worker, I had found Francis as a basket maker ( did he learn from James?), any chance Hubbard is a traveller name?

Thanks Gaie  got it easy really  
Yes Deb very much as expected there are lots of newspaper photographs a particularly nice one wearing a medal   with one death report but newspares don't give nice images. I think he had red hair in youth as there are several places mentioning red sideburns was that where the fiery temper came from remember how he flew at poor Cockney Tom hitting him in the face and into the swimming pool
I wonder when NS will get home I've a load of questionsfor her
