hangings/maybe
« on: Saturday 19 January 08 13:54 GMT (UK) »
Hello all, I have a enquiry from a friend in Australia ,who,s trying to find his G/Grandfather who  went missing supposedly hung for sheep stealing . His name was Hubert Thomas Spiers born 1852 in Beckford , the family moved to Eldersfield in 1860 .The dates that my friend think he was hung was between Oct 1876 to Jan 1878 ,is there any way in which I could find out if he was hung or whatever certainly cant find him after those dates .   Signalman

There are still Spiers in that area ~ I think that there was an intermarriage with my ancestors, some of whom came from Beckford.
