Hello all, Yet another Act of Gen - erosity! (Pardon the pun - Genealogical Generosity) The City of York & District Family History Society are pleased to announce that Conrad Plowman has kindly donated his index to "the lists in York Reference Library of prisoners brought to trial at York Assizes for the period 1785-1851" http://www.yorkfamilyhistory.org.uk This is a list of over 8,000 names. Pre-July 1800, ages were not given, and after this time, place of origin was generally not given. There are occasional gaps. The records at the Library give quite a lot of detail and, in most cases, there are also the results of the trials. We hope that, at some later time, some of the results may be posted on our website. Meanwhile, we are sorry but we cannot offer to do look-ups, as all our volunteers are active elsewhere. However, if anyone has reasonable access to York Library and would like to volunteer, please contact me. Regards, Janice Wood Projects Coordinator City of York & District FHS http://www.yorkfamilyhistory.org.uk
