Hello David Ian, do you have any idea what this chap's occupation was when he wasn't in prison? Also did he marry, and if so - who to? |

You beat me to it MC! I'll try & download the article & PM it - it also states he was given 5 years due to his "having a bad record" |

David, I've tried to send the article via GR but it won't go through (or I don't think it has). If you PM me your e-mail address I'll send it that way. |

OK David, article sent (hopefully), however despite his "bad record" I can't see anything in the newspaper articles for his previous conviction(s), which is unusual because the Bradford newspaper archive is online - as are many others, but nothing on him prior 1881-1891. |

No sign of any other criminal reports betwen1891-1901 though, so sorry can't be of any further help. Nothing that I can find on national archives either. |

Shame isn't it - back then robbery with violence was for stealing a watch, whilst drunk! Bit like stealing a mobile phone these days -but you only get a slap on the wrist One of my ancestors got jailed for stealing a chicken - he was 10 years old! |
