BK6 updated from this thread

I've found a record about OH's mysterious grandfather, John Hamilton, in the crime and punishment records on FMP and have downloaded the image. He seems to have been tried with three or four other men for the same offence, all but one of whom have their details on the same page. I can't work out how to get to the record of the first man (I think there is probably more info about the crime in the first man's record) as I don't know his name and I can't see that there is a facility to turn the page. Any ideas?

The record is for John Hamilton in 1922 at Maidstone. It's entry number 30 I am trying to get to. I tried searching for the victim's surname in Keywords (Harryman), but it came back with no matches even though his name is transcribed in the Printer Friendly version of JH's record (EDIT see next post).

I did try looking in FMP's newspaper records for info on the offence/others convicted etc to no avail. No doubt I've missed something obvious!

I can't get round this:

Quote:

You must enter either at least the 1st 3 characters of the last name

when I don't know the last name of the other criminal.

I bothered to read the Search Tips and saw this:

Quote:

Was your ancestor the criminal or the victim?

The Crime, Prisons & Punishment records often list the victims of a crime as well as the criminal. You can search for either a victim or a criminal by using this search box.

So I thought "Problem solved" as I hadn't tried the victim's name in the main box. Tried that and got no matches! lol

*sigh*

I will when I come back later, thanks!

How did you do that????

Merry, I've tried all sorts of things but I'm having no more luck than you.

ElizabethHerts · #7 13-05-13, 07:34

Well done, Kate! I'm not surprised that it was you who got it.

Thanks again Kate. I will have to look at FMP later on as I can't view their images on my phone and U'm at mum's at the moment.

The victim - William Leonard Harryman - was the publican at the Crown, Peckham High Street. Seems that he may have given up the licence in 1923.
