    3. Hello listers, I have most of the vital records of John GOULD, Rector of St Mary's and All Saints, Beaconsfield but am seeking further information about his imprisonment for debt, prior to his death in 1866. A chance meeting with the present incumbent brought the matter to light, in an account of the church history written by Canon Arthur Jones. Apparently, The Rev.GOULD was released on weekends from Newgate Prison to conduct the services at his church until his death in 1866. I did innumerable searches under many headings in 'The Times', when that facility was available online, to no avail. I have no idea what sources Canon Jones used for his undated pamphlet and no idea where I might now look. Can SKS assist? Regards, Beverley from Perth,Western Australia.
