Stationery Office being extracts from the Gloucester Gaol Calendars
and Register of Habitual Criminals relating to inhabitants of the parish
of Winchcombe
The extracts may be copied and downloaded for personal and research use
only. You must apply to Gloucestershire County and Diocesan Record Office
(refs Q/Gc5 & 6, Q/Gc31/1) for permission for any other use
Please note that the Gaol Calendar and Register of
Habitual Criminals extracts have not been verified by
Gloucestershire
Record Office, however their reference has been provided after the name
of each individual prisoner, to enable you to check against the original
material
The newspaper reports have been taken mainly from the Gloucester Journal,
Gloucestershire Chronicle, Gloucestershire Echo and
Cheltenham Journal and Gloucestershire Gazette. Winchcombe
Petty Sessions were heard on the last Friday of each month and generally
reported in the Echo or the Cheltenham Journal on the following
day. The Assizes and Quarter Sessions reports can be found in the
Gloucester Journal and Chronicle, which were weekly
papers
The Gloucester Journal and Gloucestershire Chronicle may be
viewed on microfilm at
Gloucester
City Library and the Gloucestershire Echo and
Cheltenham Journal and Gloucestershire Gazette at
Cheltenham
Reference Library and my thanks go to the staff at both libraries for
their continued help
Most 'crimes' committed in Winchcombe were fairly minor, such as
poaching, drunkeness etc, or consisted of offences which
nowadays would not be classed as criminal such as attempting to commit
suicide or refusing to have one's children vaccinated.
However, I am endeavouring to include them all here even if it is just
to reflect on the comparatively harsh system of justice that prevailed in
the late 18th and 19th centuries
The following list consists of wrong-doers identified so far. Several
of them have no links to details at present as I am systematically working
through the Gloucester Gaol Calendars and at the same time, wading
through newspapers. If you are interested in a name that has no
link, then please e-mail
me and I'll try to make it a priority. For convenience some surnames are
listed under the most common spelling variation
