Thank You for this Moma P.....now I had to smile when I saw the occupation of the Father...Bookkeeper....You see by 1826 he was in
Jail doing 6 months hard labour...for FRAUD !!! I really must chase up his
court case musn't I ????
My thanks again,
Margaret. :D
 
Margaret I did read your other post and like you I smiled to myself..... well he must have cooked the books.....so to speak. Do keep us informed of your progress.
 
Hello Wendy,
I finally found out a tiny bit more about the father of these children:
He was found guilty & convicted of fraud by false pretences & given
6 months hard labour at Warwick assizes in 1826.
regards,
Margaret. :shocked:
