These past few weeks have been the busiest for Old British News with the redevelopment of the site, the transcribing and uploading of a massive new database.
I have processed thousands of lines of searchable archive consisting of the names, dates and places of those sentenced to death in the 1800’s.
As you can imagine the numbers are greater at the beginning of the century in the late Georgian era then gradually dropping during Queen Victoria’s reign towards the 1890’s.
Although this is not a definitive list (especially from the 1880’s onwards), it does prove a further useful tool for researchers.
