Old Bailey's Court London

[gibbo]

I have just been checking out a site that has court cases from the Old Bailey's Court in London. Very interesting, especially if you have ancestors who have been naughty! They supposedly cover the dates from 1674 to 1913

Hi Gibbo

I think my ancestor John Auber gave evidence at a trial in 1814.

My John Auber lived in Bethnal Green in 1814 and this John Auber lived in Bethnal Green in 1814. Auber is a rare name so I hope it isnt a coincidence.

Hi Ben

It sounds like it might be your John Auber as if it is a rare name one would think it would not be possible to have 2 of them in the same place at the same time. I looked for some of my family names in there and one lot got into trouble for stealing 5 live geese!! I dont know if they were related to me or another family with the same name but it made interesting reading all the same.
