Olive, you have revealed to much! As said by Jill:

'If you want to use her for a springboard to trace your tree, come back and post but leave out the prison bit. And why I suggest that is for any family members who come looking on here and have a shock. It might be something they would rather keep quiet about. '

Just check local papers for the time, such a case was bound to be reported. It might have been in national papers also. It would have happened well before 1970 presumably.

I suppose it depends on what you want to find out about her too.

I doubt that we would be able to help you with the sort of records we can access between us all.

If you are looking for the sort of info you can find on her death cert you should start there.

Anything else, depending on what she was in prison for and relatives are unable to assist, you might be able to find by Googling or else you might need to consider newspapers local to the area where the crime or conviction took place.

If you want to use her for a springboard to trace your tree, come back and post but leave out the prison bit. And why I suggest that is for any family members who come looking on here and have a shock. It might be something they would rather keep quiet about.

Good hunting. J

Hmmm


Olive, not the sort of thing that should be posted for such recent times

You could try amending your first post to reflect what you want to find out....from the past, I suspect?
