Hello,
John ELWELL was sentenced to 10 years penal servitude on 21/10/1842 at the Birmingham Boro' Sessions. He was pardoned on 25/09/1848, largely due to the submissions of Mrs Louisa Roberts, a Hairdresser, 34 Bishopgate Street, Five Ways , Birmingham. Part of her submission was that she would employ him after release. NB: Mrs Roberts, a Widow, re-married and became a "THACKERBERRY".
John ELWELL's parents were Joseph and Sarah, and he was actually baptised on 15/04/1827 at Kingswinford.
Sadly I can find no trace of John ELWELL after 1848. Did he work for Mrs. Roberts? He appeared not to re-offend and there are no truly identifiable Census returns.
Can someone help please?
Thank You
