Essex Newspaper Look Up Needed!

[AlexNoodle]

Hi all

I am wondering if anyone may be able to look up some details for me in the local newspapers covering the Halstead area?

My great grandmother's first husband Charles Frederick Patmore - mostly known as Frederick was in the Essex Regiment between 26th Nov 1901 and 17th Nov 1904 when he was discharged due to a felony conviction. I would like to know whether anything was printed in the paper about this felony to find out a little more about it. I would imagine it took place a short time prior to his discharge date to narrow the time frame down a bit.

He lived at Tidings Hill, Halstead - the address given on the back of his Militia papers.

Any help is much appreciated.

Regards

Alex

Hi

I would love to look this up for you but the Colchester Library which  I use and has the papers is currently out of electrical power in their records dept They have  moved a fiche reader and one paper reader into the foyer but it is really not that great
 If you are still looking when they get their electrics sorted I will without fail look into it for you

Hi,
 I don't know if this is relevant but there was an article published in the Chelmsford Chronicle 11 November, 1904 regarding a Frederick Patmore but he was described as a labourer, no fixed abode.  He stole a gold ring, a gold chain, a card case, antimacassars and other articles value £2 on the 28th October.  He had two previous convictions for felony at Chelmsford and was sentenced to two months hard labour.  The article gives the name and address of the victim in Brentwood.
