G'day from Western Australia, I know about Lucy before an incident in the mid 1890's probably in Pinchbeck (West) or close by and then what happened after a conviction and imprisonment but I'd like to discover either the court report/register or if there was a pres article. Any ideas how I can discover this? Peter Holmes Western Australia. Skype ; p.g.holmes [HOLMES (Witham on the Hill, Manthorpe, Spalding, Pinchbeck, Donington then Leicestershire)].

Hi Peter The new BL newspapers site may help They have Lincolnshire Chronicle (1838-1903) http://www1.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk/ It is pay per view or subscription but the search is free Have you also tried the 19th Century Newspapers database ?

Nivard, Thanks for the info. I spotted another member's reference to the BL web site and as it seems to need a subscription I'm hoping that if that member has a sub he might be able to do a more complete look up. If any other lister has a sub & is willing to help then let me know. Peter Holmes Western Australia.

Hi, I too would be interested in hearing from anyone with a BL sub who would be prepared to do a 'one off' check of a specific Lincolnshire Chronicle reference, Thanks Ken Woodgate New Zealand -----Original Message----- From: eng-lincsgen-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:eng-lincsgen-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Peter HOLMES Sent: Monday, 5 December 2011 1:16 p.m. To: eng-lincsgen@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [LIN] Lucy HOLMES - mid 1890's court report in Spaldingnewspaper Nivard, Thanks for the info.

Peter, There is an article in the Lincolnshire Chronicle dated September 5th 1884 whereby John Thomas Holmes, cattle dealer, Pinchbeck West is appearing before Spalding Petty Sessions for "neglecting to contribute to the maintenance of his wife Lucy Holmes in Broadmoor Criminal Lunatic Asylum since 23 April last year". Ordered to contribute 4s. per week from date of order. ------------------ If this is indeed the Lucy you are looking for you may wish to take a look at http://www.berkshirerecordoffice.org.uk/albums/broadmoor/ which has: NEW! Download the FREE ebook 'Broadmoor Revealed: Victorian Crime and the Lunatic Asylum' onto any device at www.smashwords.com/books/view/71149. The Berkshire Record Office looks after the historic archives of Broadmoor Hospital. Thanks to generous grants from The Wellcome Trust these archives are now available for research, subject to access restrictions. The archives tell the history of this unique institution. There are many individual patient histories within the archive, and the pages below tell some of these. ------------------- Broadmoor of course is still a high security prison/hospital where those such as the Kray twins were incarcerated.

Peter "A middle aged woman, named Lucy Holmes a house keeper, of 7 Kay-street, Padiham" Could this be her? If so I will sent you the complete article Cheers, Jay On 05-Dec-11 9:52 AM, Peter HOLMES wrote: > G'day from Western Australia, > > > > I know about Lucy before an incident in the mid 1890's probably in Pinchbeck > (West) or close by and then what happened after a conviction and > imprisonment but I'd like to discover either the court report/register or > if there was a pres article. > > > > Any ideas how I can discover this? > > > > Peter Holmes > > Western Australia.
