William NORBURY, born 1833, Coventry

[BAC3]

Hello,

William NORBURY was summarily convicted at Coventry on 20/10/1847 to 21 days hard labour, but despite extensive research of all sources available to me, newspapers, criminal indexes etc., I can find no further details or the reasons.   Can someone possibly help please

Thank you,

BAC3

Good Evening Julie,

Thank you for this research.......I am very grateful.    This may have been his first brush with the law, but 60 years later he had spent approximately 50 years imprisoned, mostly for burglary!!!

For now,
