I have been looking for this poor John Mincher who - Ref. Bonded passengers to America -P.W. Coldham 'JOHN MINCHER – Sentenced to be transported to the American colonies for 7 years for stealing malt at DUDLEY. Summer 1764'. I have written this note - 'NB Dudley does not have these records. – possibly Dudley was in the Oxford Circuit' Can anyone advise where and how I can find details of the court case of John Mincher? Many thanks Crooked Spire

I have a note written on my John Mincher page that Dudley does not have these records. However i think I might try again to see if they can make any suggestions about where else I can try. Thanks for your help. Crooked Spire
