Title: Thomas William Hey
Post by: Gibby1968 on Wednesday 11 January 17 15:55 GMT (UK)
I have found a prison record on ancestry for Thomas William Hey dated 1882.

Unfortunately I cannot read what the offence was or his punishment.

Can anyone else read this?

I can't get to it from that - when was he born and where in prison?

He was married to Amelia Robinson in Keighley in 1901 and they had two sons.  Samuel was born in 1904 and James in 1907.

Thanks very much for transcribing that awful writing.

I can read some old writing and I am getting better each time but that was just awful.

I could make out the tools bit on both lines but got lost with the rest.

I'll have a look at that 1902 sentence as well.

Thanks very much :)

I found the 1902 offence and have attached it to my tree.

His year of birth was 1882 not the year of the offence I found.

That was 1912, his second offence in ten years!
