Thanks also Helen, as the record shows Holloway I thought it might be the case that it changed after 1901. I'll try the site you suggest

I suspect the records of the court case will be at The National Archives in Kew, though you would need to know where the trial was held to locate them. Have a look here: www.catalogue.nationalarchives.gov.uk/RdLeaflet.asp?sLeafletID=120 nell
