Old Bailey Trials go online

Proceedings from over 200,000 trials from the Old Bailey have been made fully available online.

      

The trials, which took place in the historical London court between 1674 and 1913, can be searched online by clicking here.

If you read the Criminal Ancestors feature in last month’s YFT 63, you’ll realise the importance of such a resource, both in discovering the black sheep of your family and those forebears who were victims of crime.

If, however, you don’t find anyone familiar among the records, you can always look up notes involving famous murderer Dr Crippen and playwright Oscar Wilde.

Pick up next month’s copy of Your Family Tree (65) for a full review.
