Isaac Culling trial 1855

[Mrs Lizzy]

Isaac Culling, a farmer, was my 5 x great grandfather.  He was born in Freethorpe and later lived in Yelverton.  I have found a record that seems to indicate that an Isaac Culling was tried and imprisoned in March 1855.  This record on Ancestry is locked for me, as I don't have the right membership.

Is anyone else able to look this up for me and let me know if it seems to relate to "my" Isaac please?  Although I think it would be worth upgrading my membership to Worldwide, I am not sure how it will be before my husband will agree!

Many thanks.

Liz

Thanks very much, Maudarby.  He sounds charming, doesn't he? My Isaac was a farmer and born about 1781, so thankfully it doesn't sound as if this is the same one!  Phew! The family escutcheon escapes unblemished!
