    Twice in 1698, once in 1699 and again in 1710 all theft. I was a very naughty boy 300 years ago.

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



    Edit: I no longer steal womens clothes after I got caught in 1798.:eek:

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

    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 .

    I was a snitch and a murderer.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 23,316 ✭✭✭✭amacachi


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


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,073 ✭✭✭sam34


    none whatsoever

    /shines halo


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 363 ✭✭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.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,784 ✭✭✭Superbus


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

    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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,287 ✭✭✭source


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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,243 ✭✭✭✭Jesus Wept


    Stolen from, 3 times.

    Where is my halo?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,689 ✭✭✭Kasabian


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

    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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,744 ✭✭✭kleefarr


    Nothing. Can only be a good thing I suppose. :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,987 ✭✭✭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.
