TELULU - Thanks for loading those 2 physical descriptions .
I have the  second one  1822  was it ...

Wondering where you got the other one from just trying to find it so i can reference its origin .

If anyone is researching  female convicts  a very   very good  book to use is  "Notorious  Strumpets and  dangerous girls "  it is an enormous  book and  is in 2 editions  and has pretty well nearly all the women  i think.   And that s where i got the original  physical description .   I feel really  confident about  this -- i can barely believe it after all these years.  Im  surprised  S Leatt never popped up in my Leats ... searches ... anyway..    your   help has been  so appreciated  !    su

I have tried to find the exact Old Bailey record which mentions a  child.   Would  you be  able e to put a link  in  here as i can only find the one  Susan Leatt and her trial  details  but no mention of a child.

No problem Susiee, I'm a Kiwi but it was Lily M that suggested that Susan Leat, I just had a it more of a dig at it.

I've discovered the term 'native of' before and sometimes it means the person has just lived in an area for a significant amount of time.

I think Caroline Leatt is the one buried at Whitefeild's memorial Church in 1808 too (Did this church have a boundary change from St Pancras to Camden?)


And this child baptised just one year after Benjamin's marriage to Ann Birmingham in 1845, wonder if her relatives?

George Ritchie Bermingham
England Births and Christenings, 1538-1975
birth:   27 July 1846   
christening:   8 September 1846   OLD CHURCH, SAINT PANCRAS, LONDON, ENGLAND   
father:   George Bermingham
mother:   Charlotte

hmm if we could find some modern day Leats, then DNA would be interesting

Thanks so much Whiteout for that,          as soon as i wrote that,      i found it .

Would you think the physical description Telulu  put up of the 2 Susans   is the same person  i have been reading a bit about grey /hazel eyes....   and  some people say  hazel can  throw that colour and others  in different  lights ..

1821 Susannah Leatt  --hazel eyes ,, 5 foot  from.. memory, not sure where tell got that  i have been looking and looking  but cant find it

1822---Susan Leake   --- grey eyes  and 5 foot 2 inch

Their crimes are so similar  as well.
