Old Bailey - 1855
« on: Friday 14 March 08 12:20 GMT (UK) »
Please can anyone advise me best method of obtaining information on an Old Bailey court case in 1855.
There is an excellent index and information on cses up to 1834 on the web and elsewhere. But what is the easiest way of finding later information?

If you can wait a little longer it seems the next phase is close to completed!
http://www.hrionline.ac.uk/oldbailey/about/index.html#1834

A new website, replacing the current one and including all 200,000 trial reports published between 1674 and 1913, will be launched in the spring of 2008.

Thanks for this info.
That's great.

The present database is brilliant. I found a whole new facet to my family history by chance on this site, which has led me on to a most interesting story which I am still pursuing. Iaddition it provides a really good feel to what was going on at the time as one can search by places as well as people. eg cirimes committed in streets where people lived etc.

I am looking forward to the new information coming on line
