Criminal Record for a George Redman b.1800 could he be my ancestor?
« on: Thursday 26 November 20 14:28 GMT (UK) »
I have found a Trial  for Larceny of a George Redman in Sussex,  28th November 1838.  He was found Not guilty.  His age is given as 38 making his DOB 1800.  The birth date of my  Gt x 2 Grandfather who lived in Sussex is 1800.  .  I have printed out the pages of the court record book.  I am wondering if there is any way to find out any more details or even if there would be more to find? Where the Court was or where he lived.  I did try TNA but nothing came up for me .  I just did a general search for George Redman putting year 1838.

George Redman, cordwainer, 38, was charged with stealing two ducks at Poynings on 23 October, the property of Wm Thacker, landlord of the Dyke Inn ( Brighton Gazette 29 November 1838, page 3).

It was the Lewes Adlourned Sessions

There's a very detailed report of the committal hearing in the Brighton Patriot of 30 October 1838, page 3 column 2.
