I have a record of a James Lymer (b 1862 Hanley to John and Elizabeth).  He seems to be an habitual criminal
Epiphany 1879 case 42 felony
Michaelmas 1879 case 48 felony
Imprisoned 30/12/78, 13/10/79, 30/6/81, 4/1/83 and 9/12/90 (although at home for the 1881 census)
I have located prison photos with 4 prisoner number 5935, 3641, 3910 and 2327 for 1879, 80, 84 and 96.  Do you have a different prisoner number on each imprisonment and are all of these my chap?

I have confirmed that Edward (b 1818) is the son of Edward proprietor of the Brown Jug and that Elizabeth was his mother.  Based on the fact that in 1861 Jnr was running a pub in Bridge Street I had reached the conclusion that he took over the family business ... your last post suggests not.  Solve one question and more just appear.  Thanks v much for your help.

I have been able to locate Edward Barker (born 1818 and married to Sarah Eardley) living in Bridge Street, Newcastle under Lyme in the 1861 census.  Unfortunately the record I have doesn't have the exact address in Bridge Street.  Pigots Directory of Staffordshire shows an Edward Barker being the proprietor of the Brown Jug in Bridge Street in 1830.  As the 1818 Edward Barker is a malster and licensed victualler I wonder if he was related and had taken over the pub.  Any help with a look up would be appreciated.

Would somebody be able to help with a Sarah Ann Martin.  Born 1874 in the Stoke area, father Thomas Martin mother Sarah.  She married William Garner in January 1892 in St Johns Hanley.  I understand that there were two Sarah Ann Martin's with father Thomas in Stoke area and with a birth in 1874.  One had a mother, Sarah Chatfield, and is shown living with them in 1881 in West Street.  Not sure whether this is the correct family as SAM is not with the same family in 1891 and may have died?  Any help gratefully received.  Thanks P
