Sarah Ackrill

[nimrod1947]

Sarah Ackrill nee Keogh was my grandmother from a second marriage (Downing). obviously been researching the lady and found she made numerous court appearances for amongst other things being drunk and riotus. She had some for assault and betting which was illegal off course in those days. Despite her being a bit on the naughty side which was undoubtably made easier because they lived next door to a pub, I don't know the name of the pub but it was, I believe 286 Heath Street. The Ackrills address was 284 Heath Street, Winson Green and a couple of the other tenants were the complainants in the cases. A couple William and Louisa King were just two of them. Despite all these appearances no photos of Sarah are anywhere to be seen. She should have been a famous member of the rogues gallery. Sadly she died early in my life, I was about four so don't have any recollection of her. Any help in finding a photo of Sarah would be appreciated and less important the name of the pub
