Not sure if this is in the right thread but thought it may be interesting to someone. In the Computer Active fortnightly magazine they include a page called Family Tree. In the current one it is about "Search Old Bailey criminal records. It is free and contains information concerning family members who have been involved in anyway in court proceedings there. whether it be as a criminal, a victim of crime or a witness.

Hope it's useful to someone
