Samuel Bush - Criminal
« on: Thursday 10 January 13 23:41 GMT (UK) »
Another researcher and I have found out that our mutual ancestor, Samuel Bush, appears on the list of "Summary Convictions for Gloucestershire" on www.genebug.net/criminals.html.   All the information the list contains is

Bush Samuel M 19/01/1858 31 Framilode Waterman QGC9/1

the latter being the reference.  When I went onto the Gloucester Archives site I cannot find the reference.  Unfortunately as I live in the north of Scotland I cannot visit the archives in person.  Is there any other way of accessing this information that anyone can advise of please.

The case had been adjourned from the previous August for the purposes of gathering certain evidence. Fined £2 plus the 6/- , plus costs; or one month in prison.
