Thanks for pointing this out - fascinating and worth a look even if not your relative. Came across someone who got a year for being an "incorrigible rogue"!!

Rough place, Monmouth, in 1859:

Thanks RamblingRose for pointing out it's only free for a week. I found them by accident and thought I'd be able to go back later - need to copy all the info that might be relevant now.:)
