COMPLETED: Look-Up: Wellington Archives - Police Gazette

[zylar22]

Hello,

I recently posted of about my Great Great Grandfather Harry/Henry Pilkington Wilson:

http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,625058.0.html

It was suggested by TwiggyTree, in a response to my post, that there may be some information about him in the Police Gazette due to an incident with his wife in 1886 (see attached newspaper clip).  The clip is from the Marlborough Express and is dated 24th August 1886. 

I was wondering if someone would be able to have a look in the relevant Police Gazette, in the Wellington Archives, just before and for about one month after the 24th August 1886, to see if Harry Wilson is mention and if there are any details, especially his birth date and place of birth, which I believe is often contained in the Police Gazette.  Below is a link to what I believe is the correct document in Archway:

Thanks

The 1886 Police Gazette lists one 'Harry WILSON' listed amongst the index for prisoners discharged from gaols, in his case Picton.

The detail includes his crime and sentence, gaol, where tried, year and place of birth and physical description.

Can you PM me with your email address again, please?
