These new records have proved useful. My 3Xggrandfather was a bit of a tearaway and I have copies of newspaper articles about his crimes. However not all of them give details of the punishment he received. |

I have an ancestor who was found guilty of "larceny by a servant" in 1875 - thing is, I think in his case he actually did it! He was an accountant and got twelve months with hard labout for taking money on three different occasions that amounted to just over £400. |

Sorry to be so dense - but where are the criminal registers on Ancestry? |

Of course a it would be a great opportunity to dismiss a servant without giving them any references, so they couldnt find a similar job. |

I have been going through the newly available criminal registers on Ancestry trying to see if I can match any ancestors on the list. One thing that struck me was the offences column contained endless rows of the allegation "Larceny by Servant". |
