I would be interested to link up with anyone researching the CHAPMAN family Brighton from 1920 onward. I have an ANNIE SKINNER marrying ALBERT E CHAPMAN 1920. Steyning.

As Marion Woolgar mentioned, the Times Digital Archive is available on-line. East Sussex Libraries make it available to library members through their web site, at http://e-library.eastsussex.gov.uk/ and other counties probably do the same. There is a wealth of information there. Steve Selby

Serious criminal cases are the lifeblood of newspapers and I am sure that the poisonings at Guestling would have been reported in the local papers. However, it is always worth bearing in mind that the stories may have been picked up by a major national paper, such as "The Times". In this particular case, "The Times" ran its first article on 30 Apr 1849 on the circumstances of the case, as previously reported in the "Hastings & St. Leonard's News". Then there was a Magistrates Hearing that was reported on 07 May 1849 which mentions the remand of Mary Ann GEERING; followed by four articles on the Hearing in the Coroner's Court in issues 15th, 16th, 17th and 18th May 1849. Finally, there were two reports in issues of 1st & 2nd Aug 1849 of the proceedings at the Summer Assizes in Lewes which resulted in the conviction for murder and the death sentence being handed down. "The Times Digital Archive 1785 to 1985" is provided online by Thomson Gale as part of a package of databases that are available via a *very* expensive subscription package. Its the type of thing that your local library service may have on offer. Alternatively, if you can wait until National Library Week (13th to 19th April), Thomson Gale may repeat their offer of free access to all for those seven days. Best wishes Marion Woolgar Bognor Regis, West Sussex
Joanne, The information came from a book called Yarns by Sarah Robinson. Although it wasn¹t actually written at the time of the murder, but years later from her notebooks and diaries. Jane.

_http://www.sussex-opc.org/ParishDetails/EastSussex/Chiddingly/ChiddinglyMurde r/ChiddinglyMurder.htm_ (http://www.sussex-opc.org/ParishDetails/EastSussex/Chiddingly/ChiddinglyMurder/ChiddinglyMurder.htm) covers the newspaper coverage. Pauline born in Chiddingly!
I thought maybe everyone responding to this thread might be interested in a second hand account written at the time of the trial and execution: ³There was a horrible case of murder in Chiddingly Parish. A middle-aged woman set her affections on a young carter who lodged with them, a mere lad, and poisoned her husband by putting arsenic in his Sunday pie. Within a month the carter requested his banns of marriage with the widow to be published. Mr. Vidal refused to do it. Suspicion being aroused; the body was taken up and examined, when enough arsenic was found to kill half-a-dozen men. The woman and young man were both committed to Lewes Gaol and tried for wilful murder. It was soon evident that the carter a heavy, loutish young fellow knew nothing of the matter, and, in fact had not been specially anxious to marry the woman at all. He was acquitted and the woman sentenced to death. Mr. Vidal attended her to the last; she confessed her guilt, but seemed otherwise a hopeless case. She was publicly hanged at Lewes, under very revolting circumstances. Her weight being too little to dislocate her neck when the drop fell, the hangman had to grasp her by the waist and swing his own weight with hers until she ceased to struggle. Poor Mr. Vidal was quite ill after this, and never could read the Commandments again without emotion. There was always a deep hush in the church while his low, trembling voice repeated ³Thou - shalt do no- mur-der,.²
