Do you know about the scandal that brought down the first New Poor Law Commission?

Look up Marylebone Workhouse and all will be revealed.

That was brought about by a gentleman profiting from the ownership of ahouse that was very similar to Colney Hatch.

Was the house in Friern Barnet called Colney Hatch by any chance Rollo?

This charmer is hanging somewhere from a branch in my tree god rest her soul:

otoh another rellie, dec., had a connection to Albert Pierrepoint and lived in the same road as him at one time.

One of my GGF was a D.I. at Mile End and was one of the many working on the Ripper murders.

I once owned a house in Friern Barnett in which a previous occupant had been murdered. I never lost any sleep over it. OTOH I did not remove the window bars from the ground floor.

It is always interesting when yr tree throws up the unexpected.

The worst ones were pretty efficient.

I guess the twenty best ones were never discovered! :-D

:-D :-D :-D :-D

There is a series on one of the Sky channels about Britain's twenty worst murderers.

I can't wait for the series about the twenty best ones!
