Hi David,
I have written to the Somerset and Bath archives. If he had been accused of
stealing twice before, they might have other records that might relate to
which parish he came from etc. Will let everyone know what they come back
with.
Thanks
Liz

I would have thought that a hunt for any surviving Quarter Session
records
would
be a better place to start with this.
It may be that the case was heard and dealt with on 26 Oct 1837 - or the
case
may have been heard earlier with sentence being deferred until the 26th
Oct.
Obviously the important bit would be the details of the case etc., which
may
provide more insight into his circumstances (occupation and living) at the
time - witnesses & co accused.
Gaol records for Lincoln around the same period merely stated the nature
of
offence, where born, religion, personal description, whether literate,
conduct
whilst in prison, how disposed, i.e. released after serving sentence or
transferred to another prison or transported etc.
