Hello, Can anyone advise me on how and where to find gaol calendars? I am particularly interested in a man who was tried at the Chelmsford Assizes in 1797 and another who was tried at the Lent Assizes in 1798. I notice from searching Seax on the Essex County Council's website (record office page) that they hold session books for these periods and that these contain calendars of prisoners, but it is not clear to me whether these are comprehensive. Many thanks. Regards,Rob Dickinson

If you give us the name of the prisoner/s my husband will see if he has any records for him/them.
