Checking the newly released #WestMidlands criminal registers on #Ancestry, looking for Moore relatives. And OMG they have mugshots! I’m still hoping some of my Irish Tate relatives in #Dublin (in and out of prison a *lot*) may have prison mugshots. But haven’t found them yet. https://www.ancestry.co.uk/search/collections/61716/ #Genealogy #FamilyHistory #Crime #CrimeHistory #Criminals #Ireland #England #Prisoners #NineteenthCentury #19thCentury #Prisons #Photographs

A fascinating story delving into the incredible story of Martin Guerre, who vanished for years, only to return twice. Learning another had taken his place with uncanny precision and resemblance.

No lock or bar could stop him. An account how he outsmarted judges, baffled tavern keepers, and left everyone in awe of his audacious abilities.

A lesson from history: If you are going to murder someone, don't sit down nearby and leave behind (sorry!) a perfect imprint of your patched corduroy breeches. Mark Whiting (wearer of the breeches) and James Caines were hanged for the murder of Isaac Gorden at Gloucester Prison.

Poetic phrasing appears in this newspaper report on the proceedings at Cheltenham Police Court in 1862. A policeman assisted a drunk man in "regaining his perpendicular", while the prisoner, a former Marine, said the effect of going into the open air after a drinking session had "set him on his beam-ends".

You could use #whiskey for other whiskey lovers to find your toot, and search for #crimehistory to see if anyone is talking about B&C. Mastodon doesn’t support searching for a word without the #, so very important! It takes a little experimentation sometimes to find out which # others use most. #whiskey / #whisky (bad example, but anyway!)
