I'm in two minds. I found my granddad's records on there for the late Boer War.
But ancestry outshone my g--g grandma for her criminal records
Apparently she couldn't resist nicking laundry. Yeh, I know .. aim high hey.
I kid you not, because I read the newspaper articles ... she worked in a laundry, stole loads of sheets from a nearby Hotel who had their laundry done there ... cut out the hotel name tabs and .. this cracked me up .. took the holey sheets off to the nearest pawn shops.
Last time I came across her (1881 census) she was in the nick working in the prison laundry.
