the link I last used seems to have disappeared (ww.blacksheepindex.co.uk)

There are also often newspaper reports detailing crimes

Apparently Black Sheep Index isn't available at the moment but I found this on Google. It's a web address that gets you in to an achived copy

I don't know if you can order anything through this site but at least you might be able to find out if your ancestor is there.
