I'm off to Kew next month to try to find details of the Assizes case and subsequent sentance of my GG Grandfather Western Curcuit 1904. His sentances was respited and family hearsay is that he served 10 years instead of being executed.
But I'm faced with a quite a list of documents and I don't know which ones I will need to look at. I also don't know how much searching I'll need to do on each of the books. Any advise please...
These are all within the date range
Western Circuit
Assizes: Western Circuit: Crown Minute Books
Assizes: Western Circuit: Civil Minute Books
Assizes: Western Circuit: Gaol Books
Assizes: Western Circuit: Miscellaneous Books
Assizes: Western Circuit: Indictment Files
Assizes: Western Circuit: Criminal Depositions and Case Papers
Assizes: Western Circuit: Pleadings
I don't think I have enough time to look at them all, so if you could put them in some sort of order of importance it would be a great help.
Thanks
