Hi Anne and Clive,
Further to your recent posts, it may interest you to know that the website
of the MonGenes Family History group has an interesting article entitled
'Crime & Punishment in Monmouthshire'. Josephine Doe, one of our Co-owners,
carried out the research to produce this page and did the web design.
You can find the website here:
www.mongenes.org.uk
<
http://www.mongenes.org.uk> Then click on the 'Crime & Punishment'
tab
just below the 'Welcome' tab. Access to this article is free to all.
Also, there are Usk Prisoner Receiving records in our searchable database
covering 1871-76. Some Calendar of Prisoners Records (Sessions & Assizes)
for the period 1828-1839, 1839-1859 have now been transcribed.
MonGenes is Dedicated to Monmouthshire Genealogy.
Parish Registers, Memorial Inscriptions, Wills, Workhouse Records,
Monmouthshire men in the armed forces, Crime & Punishment, Mining Disasters
together with 17th-18th Century Manorial Records are just some of the
projects we are working on at the moment.
Still very much in its infancy - our aim is to make MonGenes the first stop
for Monmouthshire Family History Research. Our Searchable Database
containing over 416,000 entries. At present all of these records are freely
available to MonGenes Yahoo Group Members for private genealogy and family
history research. No commercial use is permitted.
Membership of theYahoo Group is free, but moderated. More information can
