United States of America / Michigan Supreme Court Records -1881-1882
« on: Sunday 12 June 16 04:45 BST (UK)  »
I would like some advice on how to access Supreme Court Records for a An Intent to Murder Trial in the Michigan Supreme Court.  I am wondering if anyone has any experience of where to go and which agency to contact.

I was very surprised to read in the UK papers that an relative of mine was charged, held in prison for nearly 12 mths before the case was heard before a jury. I have found references in "The Detroit Free Press" that the Jury found him guilty of intent to murder by poisoning. But a later UK newspaper report indicated that the Supreme court quashed the conviction and my relative was discharged.

I have searched the Internet, and a number of agencies handle only some aspects of this historical period.  I am really only interested in the record for the quashing of the jury's decision.

Thank you.  ( I live on Australia)

Australia / NSW Electoral Rolls - 1901-1925 - Harry Dunlop Wareham
« on: Wednesday 16 March 16 05:31 GMT (UK)  »
Hi,

I am trying to plot my wandering grandfather's movements for 1903 - 1925.  He moved a lot between NW Queensland and the Hunter Valley and New England districts of NSW.  I have two questions.  Was there a time lag between when someone registered and when the Electoral Rolls were printed?  For example, I have found Harry on the Qld Electoral Roll for 1909 and 1910 at the Mt Cuthbert Mine in North West Queensland. (I believe he was at Mt Cuthbert earlier.)  Yet I have reason to believe he left the Boulia track, NQ, late 1907 (unless he went back again) and he married in Casino, NSW, Feb 1911.

My other request, is could I please have a lookup for the NSW Electoral Roll for the period 1903-1925 just to see where else he could have been.  Thank you.
