    3. Norm, Even if it was a youthful prank, it's far more serious than stealing a handkerchief or loaf of bread. And they were found guilty. My ggg grandfather was transported with 17 others for being in a pub when a forged note was found. Logic says not everyone was involved. Most couldn't read or write. Such was British justice. The www.FindMyPast.co.uk site offers limited census searching before you have to pay. You should be able to find both the men you are after. I'd also check your local libraries and FHS centres. Many offer free access to Ancestry and Find My Past. Members of SAG will also find it there. State Libraries also have it. Peter
