Subject: HARPER/BACON
Date: Thu, 12 Oct 2000 12:47:03  HARPER - Robert born Barney, Norfolk - married Mary Ann Bacon from Hindolveston, at Selston, Notts, in 1868. He became a miner and had children Jane Ann, J.C., Maria, Matilda, George, Harry, Bertha - all born at Selston - and William born at Bulwell.
BACON - Charles - born Brinton, Norfolk, married Ann Codling from Hindolveston - parents of Mary Ann - moved to Selston around 1863 and became a gamekeeper. Had children Mary Ann b Hindolveston, Samuel Robert, George, William, Elisha, Susan Jane, Thomas - all born Annesley - and James born Tithby.
 

as you may read above there is a Charles Bacon born in Norfolk  who becomes a Gamekeeper in Selston in the 1860s, you would think that was an easy clue, but just read this below, it is great fun looking for clues and true when you find things you feel good about it, yet the untruth is you can find information and create a true story, history is so full of names and dates connected to many the story that may be joined but truthfully they may lead you down the wrong road, so from reading the story above I found a Gamekeeper from Selston named Bacon, but it is before the timescale stated above, boy ho boy, my head is spinning, where do all these Bacons keep coming from, there's many many Bacons who were Gamekeepers all round the country, wow is all I'll say.

there are many more Gamekeeper stories with the name Bacon in, some of them really interesting, I just wanted to help anyone who like me is trying to find information from past history, be careful not to get to carried away, you may make a story out of many things, just try and try to find several stories that link up, around Selston I have found Bacons winning flower shows and the best vegetables in farm contests, I have found Band Masters named Bacon from Selston over a hundred years ago, there are Bacons buried in the same Church Yard as Daniel Boswell, there are Bacons on the same Church walls in Plaques, I could put on a hundred stories of records of Bacons who from the dates and locations seem to link up with who I am trying to find yet they may not have a single connection to which I am seeking, just be careful in your search, I do not know how Sue finds all the information She does, I would say it takes years to become remotely evan half good at Genealogy

ALLEGED FALSE PRETENCES AT TIBSHELF.
HIS STORY TO A LOCAL TRADER.
John James Bacon. 53, Hawker, of Garden Lane Burns Street Sutton-in-Ashfield was brought up in custody at Clay Cross to-day and remanded on a charge of attempting to obtain seven pounds by false pretences from George Stanley Clark, at Tibshelf, on February 20th. Bacon visited Mr. Clarks shop and asked to be allowed to leave his kit bag until the following day.
This permission was granted.
Returning to the shop the next morning Bacon opened the bag and took out two rugs, one of which he represented to be a Persian, and the other a Russian. Bear skin, these he offered to sell to Clark for seven pounds. Bacon stated that he was a sailor and had sailed the seven seas, adding that he had been shipwrecked four times. He wished to get back to Liverpool, and was therefore, trying to sell the rugs at considerably less than their value. P.C Kelly who happened to be in the shop at the same time overheard the conversation and being suspicious took Bacon into custody.
Bacon remanded.

PERSIAN RUG MADE IN BELGIUM
 
  SUTTON PEDLAR'S STORY AT TIBSHELF. HEARD BY HIDDEN POLICEMAN. MAN WHO HAD BEEN SHIPWRECkED. At Alfreton to-day John James Bacon, 52, pedlar, of Burns-street, Sutton-in-Ashfield, was fined and £2 15s. 9d. costs on a charge of attempting to obtain by false pretences the sum of £7, from George Stanley Clarke, of High-street, Tibshelf, on February 20th. Mr. R. A ... Young, Nottingham, defended. Clarke, who i 6 a beer-off keeper at Tibshelf, said that on February 19th accused went ..to. his shop, and asked permission to leave his kit-bag. ...
SAILED THE SEVEN SEAS.
He said he was searching for some friends who lived in Sutton-in-Ashfield, and he could not carry the bag any further. Acused, who wore a sailors peak cap, called the next morning when he related to Clarke his alleged sea-faring exploits. He said he had sailed the Seven Seas ... and had been shipwrcked four times ; and he also said he had to re-join his ship at Liverpool.      From the kit-bag, the accused produced what he described as real bearskin rug from Arcadia, Russia, a real Persian carpet rug, and an Indian silk bedspread.
SAID GOODS .. SMUGGLED.
He said the Persian was worth £30, but he was able to sell the articles cheaply because he had got them into the country free of duty. He further told Clarke that his Sutton-in- Ashfield friends had gone away on holiday for a month and he would have to sell the articles or take them to the porn shop, as he had to get to his ship to night. Prisoner asked for £7 for the lot, Clarke went on to tell the magistrates that on the day when Bacon first called at his shop, a Mansfield man, when delivering goods, spotted the kit-bag and told Clarke  that he had seen that bag before on his own mother's premises.
AN INVISIBLE WITNESS.
 Consequently he suspected Bacon, and told Clarke, and when the prisoner was about to leave the house the officer left his hiding-place and arrested him. In reply to the charge of attempted false pretences, he said I am saying nothing. Joseph H. Slack, the buyer for Messrs. John Turner, Ltd., Chesterfield, valued Bacon's goods goods £4 wholesale. The alleged bearskin was a goatskin; the Persian rug was made in Belgium, and probably the Indian bedspread was. Italian. Mr. R. A. Young addressed the Bench at some length, and said that a man was entitled to boost his goods, while floral verbal embellishments did not amount to false pretences. It was no offence for a man to get £7 for goods worth £4,. or make the best of one's wares. The Bench must be satisfied that the prisoner knew the value of the goods, deliberately misrepresented them, and made a fabulous profit. Supt. Campbell proved four previous convictions, including a fine of £10. for lino fraud at the Chesterfield county magisterial court in 1928, and he said that Mr. Clarke had shown public spirit in reporting the affair to the police
