Where do I look?
I have just been given a tree of my OH's Pusey family. It says that his 3 X Great Grandfather Nathaniel Pusey was jailed for 1 year with hard labour for poaching, in 1820 Taplow.
I've never had to look for any criminal records etc before so can someone give me some advice as to how I can find some information to verify this please. Can't ask the person who drew up the tree as they have passed on.

Ancestry has recently put some Criminal Registers online, but I can't get ancestry to load on the laptop at the moment to look.

I don't have access to the Criminal records.

I got it to load but he wasn't listed on there. Had a look at the 19th Century British Library Newspapers but I couldn't see him on there either. So I think you would have to go to the Centre for Buckinghamshire Studies: http://www.buckscc.gov.uk/bcc/archiv..._Studies.page?

Thanks Kite, but I don't think I will be going to Buckinghamshire in person.
Will have to see if anyone is going.

We do have a member offering lookups at Bucks Archives but I'm not sure if his offer would include looking through the quarter sessions. It would be worth asking him, though, I should think.

He has done some lookups for me in the past. Will see what he says about the criminal records.
Thanks Kite.

My ancestor was a witness in a quarter sessions hearing - found him on the www.a2a.org.uk site. If your relative is there it will give a reference a person going to Centre for Bucks Studies can use to locate the document quickly. Or alternatively that you can use to ask for a photocopy.
