Hello, I have an Albert Beake whom I know went to prison and I'd given up hope of ever finding out why. However, tonight on this forum someone recommended the London Gazette website to someone else for an entirely different reason. When I looked at the London Gazette I found Albert straight away ! Unfortunately his Bristol bootmaking 'empire' went bankrupt and he paid the price.
I do know that he came out of prison, moved to Willesdon and continued bootmaking.
I also found another ancestor who became a postman
I wanted to thank the person who provided the link to the London Gazette but have been unable to find that post again, I can only hope they see this in 'new posts'
