Hi

He died 25.04.1907 of Typhoid buried in Town cemetery,
Need to know what crime was committed. In TNA Kew anyone willing to do a look-up WO90 WO 92 some records in WO 86

Dear Linda

Have checked the records and it just says "committed crime 15/04/06" "awaiting trial 16/04/06", "tried & reduced to gunner 26/04/06".

Further down the page it has "deceased" and the date.

Best wishes

Just a thought: you may get a better response if you change the title of the topic.
1906 is clearly nothing to do with the Boer War.  ;)
