Thanks for info Lady Monoceros & SylvianlnCanada.

The person I'm researching for will be thrilled. Always wanted someone in her tree that had been to prison. Weird but true.

Thanks aghain.

Would some kind person who has access to the Criminal Register on Ancestry please find out for me what the charges were and sentence for Nicholas Morritt c.1810. The trial date was 6 Dec 1845.

Thanks in anticipation.
