Re: Genealogy
I am making good use of my enforced 'down time' by researching further into the family history. Have found several separate entries in the 'England and Wales Criminal Registers' and also the 'Dorchester Prison admission and discharge register' for my paternal 4 x great grandfather - unfortunately they were written in blue ink and are so faded they are unreadable - but he must have been a bit of a rogue and lucky to have not been deported!! Will try searching the newspaper archives to see if they yield anymore information.Re: Genealogy
A distant relation of mine found a relation we both share from London who was born circa 1860, she was walking home one night and was clobbered by a young man who hit her in the face with of all things a Salmon, poor woman died a few days later in hospital, we never found out why she was hit or who did it.Re: Genealogy

Re: Genealogy
The thing I am finding most amusing is the disparity between the Spear side and the Distaff side of my family. In the 1700s and early 1800s, Dad's lot are peasants and appear to be rogues - Mother's lot are all very upper middle class - Priests, Nuns, Civil Engineers etc., No wonder there was so much opposition to the marriage!Re: Genealogy
I just read this thread right through this thread it's so interesting.Re: Genealogy
