Hi all,
I have come into precession of this document and i am not sure what it means and how i can research it further.
It says (sorry this is long).....
TO THE CONSTABLE OF GUISBOURGH IN THE SAID RIDING.
By virtue of my Office, These are in Her Majesty's Name to charge and command You, that on sight hereof, You summon and warn twenty-four able and sufficient Men of your Constabulary, and the next three adjoining, personally to appear before me, on WEDNESDAY the 29TH day of JANUARY instant, at THREE O'CLOCK in the afternoon, at the House of Herman Howourghth (may be incorrect name as difficult to read) in the said Township and Liberty, then and there to do and execute all such things as shall be given them in charge, on the behalf of our Sovereign Lady the Queen's Majesty, touching the death of WILLIAM KITCHING. And for so doing this is your Warrant. And you are likewise required to summon the Witnesses in this Case, that the Queen's Service be not neglected; and futher to do and execute such other Matters as shall be then and there enjoined you; and have you then and there this Warrant. Fail not herein at your Peril.
Given under my Hand and Seal, the 28th day of January 1847.
Signed the Deputy Coroner.
As you can see the oldie worlde language is a bit confusing. William Kitching was my great great great great grandfather and he was married to Amelia Milburn. He was born in 1803 in York. Can i presume from this document that he was murdered , where can i find out more, any suggestions ?
Thanks you
Michelle
