Hi I hope this is the right place but how would I go about finding any info on my great grandmother Bessie Clark who was sentenced to 1 month jail in Mar 1906 for cruelty in Bournemouth I think. Thanks heaps Jame  :)

Thank you ShaunJ. Is there any way of finding out where she went? I can see the first newspaper article but not the second and it doesn’t say.
