Member Since: February 2005 Posts: 74 Send Message	I can't thank you enough for drawing my attention to this site Sam. I've been searching high and low to find out why my gt gt grandfather was in Brixton prison in 1871 including subscribing to Times Online without success. A few minutes going through the Ipswich Journal and I discover he was guilty of stealing wool and, while in jail pending trial, tried to commit suicide!!!! So many thanks for that Sam.
