I hope you learned from your mistakes, and are now on the path of righteousness.

After further checking, I see that I was found not guilty, and some slapper must have tried to stitch me up, the bitch.

NUTZZ

That was hilarious! I put in my surname and the very first result was the same name as my mother! But the offense was hilarious on top of that....

<insert mothers name here> , of the Parish of St. Sepulchre , was indicted for privately stealing 7 Guineas and a half, and 4 l. 10 s. in Silver, from the Person of Roger Jackson , an the 8th instant: But the Evidence not being sufficient, she was acquitted .

tallaghtoutlaws

I was a snitch and a murderer.

amacachi

None. Though I found out about a relation in Australia recently so that's the same thing. :pac:

sam34

none whatsoever

/shines halo

Rockn

Just the one result and she was only a witness. Coin forgery. Apparently she sold the prisoner half an ounce of shag and he paid for it with a forged shilling!

My father's surname got 89 results.. covering 9 pages.. most seem to be murder.

Superbus

One result... from 1803... a juror. Exciting!

My mum's name gets 26, mostly theft.

djk1000

My clan went from manslaughter down to petty theft, back up to grand larceny(repeatedly) and finished off as a juror in a murder trial

source

I'm a good boy.....My dad was the victim of a burglary in 1879 and fraud in 1912.

Jesus Wept

Stolen from, 3 times.

Where is my halo?

Kasabian

None , I knew I came from a master clan of criminals. The one's that never get caught.

qz

CORNELIUS CUSACK , stealing 7lbs. weight of brass, and other articles, value 5s.; the goods of Thomas Charles Druce and another, his masters: to which he pleadedGUILTY . Aged 35.— Confined Three Months , 7th May 1849

kleefarr

Nothing. Can only be a good thing I suppose.

ottostreet

One from Cashel in Tipperary where I was convicted of bigamy in 1815. That really could be a relative, because my family on my dads side are originally from Tipp.

In 1838, I was stolen from by Lawrence Bailey. An eye glass and a breast pin. Damn that little ruffian.

I stole a load of cloth in 1843. Too many different types to write out. I clearly had a problem though.

And in 1868, I was found guilty of passing counterfeit money.

Tar.Aldarion

None at all, fail!

AnonoBoy

No results.

The O'TerribleLadsFromDownTheRoad must have been a clean living family back in the day.

lonsdale

my ancestor was indicted for stealing a Hat, value 5 s. the Goods of Thomas Hooper , on the 8th of May 1715


"It appear'd, that the Prosecutor keeping a Publick House , the Prisoner call'd for a Pint of Drink, and took away the Hat; which upon pursuit being found upon him, he was search'd, and 8 Pewter Plates conceal'd about him, which were found to belong to one Samuel Beldam .

He was a 2d time indicted for stealing the said 8 Pewter Plates ; which was also very plainly prov'd upon him, and he was found guilty of Felony upon both Indictments ."

BAD ASSSS!!!

ps. it doesn't say what the dog got.

Bonito

In 1845. Deception and Forgery.

In 1847. Theft and Embezzlement.

Thoie

5 hits - all as victims of theft and murder!

1 hit on my mother's family name in 1856. Stealing 1 pistol, value 50s. (about £1,600 today); the goods of our Lady the Queen.

A confusing tale about someone who gave the pistol to a pawnbroker, and the "War department of the Tower" (of London, I assume). There was also a dodgy man name Ryan on the bridge, and some hanging around in public houses.

KnifeWRENCH

Coriolanus

SquirrelFace

Tommy_NDX

5800 results for my mothers surname, 0 for mine.

Dude111

Wow 5800!!

Most of them probably ARE NOT related to her........ (In a sense though we are ALL RELATED)

Tommy_NDX

Yeah it's a pretty common name. Either that or I come from a long long line of criminals.:p
