The terminology suggests an habitual petty offender.......certainly not a man who had committed any major crime

Good thinking Greyghost, I will look into that thank you.

Margee, if I find out that all he did was steal a chicken or hurled abuse at a Police Constable, I will be most disappointed.

"Incorrigible Rogue". How vey exciting. :-D

Lucky you, David! Not just a bit of scandal but an "incorrigible rogue" in your tree!

How about this one? British newspaper archives on this site and probably FindMyPast

Sorry but don't have the sub to view details - previews tend to be a bit mangled!

Ok Margee. Thank you very much for taking the time to look.

The first bit of scandal in my tree so it would have been interesting to know what crime he committed. :-(
