Smugglers (Any database?)
« on: Saturday 24 November 12 12:39 GMT (UK) »
Hi

My mother thinks that there are smugglers in her family history, possibly from the Swanage area. Not sure which surname it would be but could be Sherrington, Dance or Holland. Does anyone know if there are any databases of convictions etc that I could refer to?

Thanks

Paul

Hi,

Perhaps the Dorset History Centre in Dorchester might be able to help or the OPC for Swanage:


Dorset History Centre 01305 250550  or   archivesATdorsetcc.gov.uk      replace AT with @
