Evening!
We have a family story (of course, notoriously dodgy) that one of my great aunt's husband went to prison.
He is Solomon Robert Smith, 1895-1946, born in Stepney, died in Illford.
Rumour has it that he went to prison. He was a postman by occupation, could he have stolen post? Opened letters with money? Some other darstardly trick??
He was married to Isabella Ward. They had a lodger, Eric Leonard Rolfe, who we think had an affair with Bella while Solomon was inside. After Solomon died in 1946, Bella married Eric (aka Basil).
I've looked through the Ancestry records but nothing. If anyone can help me and family - we'd be much obliged.
