My uncle is also actively looking and I pointed him at the Aylesbury Remembered Facebook group to see if people are asking similar questions

Hi all

The records for Putnam House post-1952 are held by Parents and Children Together https://www.pactcharity.org/

PACT Reading

7 Southern Court,

South Street,

Reading.

RG1 4QS

Telephone - 0300 456 4800

I also tried Action for Children but they didnt administer Putnam House. They suggested http://childrenshomes.org.uk/ however the records they hold are for children who went into their care. My uncle didnt as his mum took him home, which seems brave in 1939

Good luck with the research

David Wingfield was supposed to put up £50 in sureities as well as express penitence and I read it that he was unable to find the funds

And the pertition from his wife was for his release as he had expressed his sorrow for his actions and she was "truly miserable" 

Sorrow he may have had but it seems in 1844 he was back in court charged with her "Attempted Murder" upshot was ... £50 sureities and he walked out of court with Charlotte as she mitigated the charge again

Looks like he refused the sureties so was imprisoned in January

The 1841 census was taken in June 1841 so Im confused as there is still a note on his record in July?

It makes sense to me as it would appear that the Court is refusing the petition put forward by Charlotte on her husband's behalf.

You beat me to it ! Just fathomed that out now

Makes perfect sense as there is another book with the prisoner "outcome" which says "Nil" and that was posted in July 1841

As ever - thanks go out to all of you rootschatters with this query!

Interesting that you have put "petition" as his wife Charlotte had petitioned for his release on 1st Feb 1841 so if it is petition, then "refusing" wouldnt make sense

As it is on the 1851 census he was in the same jail although he was only sentenced to 6 months ... whether he got out and re-offended is on my to-do list
