Find Ancestors

As Patricia is a new poster.........I will send a PM to let her know she has received replies.

:-)

Going back to the earliest conviction, I think it was at Sevenoaks and he received 12 months for stealing a horse, cart & harness. He was a hawker, and also charged with the same offence was Rose Ranger (indicted as Grainger) who was also given 12 months.

It lists a previous conviction for Charles Davis in 18/1/1882 at Bedminster petty sessions where he was fined 20s for cruelty to a horse.

Another twist, the 1893 conviction for house breaking, when he got 16 mth as James Gardner (now a carpenter) - the other offender charged with him (also got 16 months) was Rose Vincent. She had previous convictions in 1886 & 1887 under the name Margaret Bishop!

According to Google, Punyant is in Lahore,Punjab.

Nice find Gritty, but it says "of Bristol" so living there but not necssarily born there. I really do wonder if there was a Gypsy ancestry, although not trying to typecast I wonder?

Hi firstly "wow" i am blown away by so much information so quickly. Big thanks to Ann, Flip, Prickly Holly, Maddie and Gritty.

As i am finding it gets even more confusing the more you find out. It will take me time to work through all of this information but iam curious as to how you can know that the "aliases" used refer to the same man and where do you find the "full conviction list"
i will keep looking and hope maybe to hear more espec ially about his father James. There seems to be so many deceptions in this mans life i am beginning to doubt even that James was his father and that his birth was in India.

Flip i also have a strong feeling that there is a gypsy ancestry in here somewhere.

I think Maddie found the court record on find my past - I'll send you a copy of the 1907 one as it has the list of various convictions. Check your messages.

I had already downloaded it when Maddie posted so will mail it now
