Is there anywhere on-line that can give me a list of the men and women charged and tried by Judge Jeffries ?
Most articles just give the number tried without naming them.....I would be interested to find out their names. I bet some of 'my lot' would have been involved :o)

And then there's this:

This should be the definitive:
http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/catalogue/d isplaycataloguedetails.asp?CATID=833&CATLN=3&H ighlight=&FullDetails=True
which is good news, but the bad news is you'll have to book a slot at the National Archives in kew to get at it.

Steve - oh you!
Rosetta - the National Archives at kew are free to enter and open to everyone. If you want to examine a particular document, you will have to fill out applications, perhaps await an appointment time, wherre cotton gloves, only be armed with a pencil n all that jazz - but that's to preserve the documents, not to stop you getting at them. Plus, you may need to have expertise in reading ancient handwriting (palaeography) as anything before about 1700 can be in a wonky script.
The same applies to regional record offices and to local studies collections in town libraries, and to material held iin museums.
It's YOUR heritage, they're just minding it.
