Family History Beginners Board / Trying to find William Hales - Murdered in 1856 in Essex
« on: Wednesday 04 June 14 12:09 BST (UK) »
I wonder if any of you history detectives can help me.
I have a newspaper report from the 'News of The World' – 9 March 1856 about the Murder of William Hales who was a Gamekeeper to Sir John Tyssen Tyrell (1795-1877, 2nd Bt, MP for Essex North).
The brothers - James Thurgood, William Thurgood and Thomas Thurgood, with James Guiver, were charged at the Chelmsford Assizes with the wilful murder of William Hales at Duke’s Wood,
I am trying to establish that this William Hales is the same as William F Hales (b. abt 1813 in Broomfield, Essex) who
married Eliza
(b. abt 1814 in Boreham, Essex).
According to his sons’, George H Hales (Snr) (b. abt 1842 in Boreham, Essex) marriage in 1869 to Elizabeth Revel, His father is shown as a Gamekeeper.
I am not related to family, but am trying to work out the family of Photographer - George Henry Hales (b. abt 1871 in Leyton, Essex) whose father was George H Hales (Snr).
Any leads or information welcomed.
