Just wondering if you had any luck with this, I'm looking for similar records in the same time period and I'm not coming up with much!

Thanks Lorraine, how funny that we're both looking at the same crime in the same year, only I'm looking for both parents being imprisoned around 1944!

Would confirm that the newspaper local to the area will probably have all the details.

I was researching some info in the newpapers of 1949 and by an absolute fluke found out about a prison sentence of a distant relative(uncle by marriage) in my husbands family. Prior to reading the details it had just been a family rumour. It made both sad and funny reading. Good luck with your search.-jl

Researching:
Mellors of Fulstone- Haighs of Fulstone- Haighs of Horbury -Fowlers of Sheffield -Ashton/Acomb of Keighley-Broadheads of Mearhouse-Nixons of Bradfield- Hopwood of Dewsbury and Elland-Procter/Proctors of Malham
