I found this on the free Genealogy in Time Magazine online. I haven't had
time to play with it so if any do, can you post to the list about how one
narrows down a surname to a place. Thanks
UK – A very interesting collection of legal records are The Proceedings of
the Old Bailey 1674 to 1913 website. The Old Bailey was the central
criminal court for England and Wales. It was located in central London.
This court heard the most serious criminal cases for London and much of the
rest of the country. The Proceedings of the Old Bailey website contains a
great collection of detailed records from some 200,000 criminal cases
spanning roughly 240 years. This collection has been slowly increasing over
time. It is a great website to check if you want to know if you had any
really interesting characters in your family tree. Only the most hardened
criminals ended up at the Old Bailey. Access is free. [Old Bailey Criminal
