Where did you find the record and whose name are we looking for so we can find the record and perhaps help?

Thanks everybody.It was Thomas Liddle that I was looking at.Sorry I didn't put his name up in the first place.Stealing three hens!!Blimey he must have been desperate.I just wondered what he would have been doing in that area.He was a Co.Durham man all his life and,of course, was it "my" Thomas Liddle? The fact it says born Southside would appear to say it was.

Thank you all,once again,Terry L.
