Hi Sue - I have a William Minshall b1821 married to a Martha Sherlock b1821. Martha had a brother William Sherlock b1814 Arrowe. They had a 1st cousin Joseph Sherlock b1815 Gayton. Wonder if it could be him? Are relatives are more likely to mix together socially?

A later report states they were all committed by the coroner for manslaughter. I believe Thomas EVANS was the brother of my 3xG/Grandmother, Mary EVANS but I am curious to know who in particular was the mentioned Joseph SHERLOCK. Can anyone shed any light on the above. If anyone would like further details of the reports please contact me off list and I will forward copies.
