I'm looking for the ancestry of this man who was eventually sent to prison as The Luton Sack Murderer in 1943. He died in prison in 1947. |

Birth year was suggested to me so it was all I had to go on really. |

Is this the James Letting you're talking about? But this happened in 1822!!! |

I should have said he may be descended from a bastard child of James Letting. |

Hello Karen, when you say you're looking for the ancestry of this man what research have you already done? Do you have access to census records in order to work back? |

I don't know how many Bertie Manton's were in Luton but thought worth mentioning this find in case it's him. |

Numerous newspaper reports of the murder from 1944 in the archives all give his age as 40. Wife named as Irene Caroline Seagrave Manton. |

For interest only, this might be Irene in 1911. |
