Had another look at this site ( www.oldbaileyonline.org) The people search brings up names not only of defendants, but also of jurors, victims, witnesses - in fact anyone mentioned in the trial. You then get the transcript of the trial. You can include a time span in your search. You can also search by place Its all free as well Joan
