Goodness me, to think that Michael's son Thomas who is my great grandfather went to live in London and became a policeman. It's no wonder he escaped! Thanks for the link, VERY interesting.

Bridget Welsh was living in Hungate in 1891 and running an inn, the "WheatSheaf", it makes me wonder what sort of pub it was.

Thanks so much,
Liz

Well that is amazing and it is certainly possible, because he was there then, but married shortly after. The place and name matches.

Thank you  :D
