George Wells-Mary Minchin-Henry Wells-Sarah Ann Blackmore
I am Looking for a George wells who may have married a Mary Minchin d1834
They had a son Henry Wells b1819, Henry was convicted of stealing at the Old Bailey in 1834 and Transported to Australia for 7 years his mother Mary had died on 12 May that year.
HENRY WELLS was indicted for stealing, on the 18th of September , 2 gowns, value 10s. , the goods of George Wells .
GEORGE WELLS. I am father of the prisoner - he lived at home with four other children. I missed two gowns which had belonged to my wife, who died on the 12th of May - I spoke to the prisoner about these gowns, but did not make him any promise or threat - he owned it to his sister, and I went to the pawnbroker, and found them
SAMUEL LINDLEY . I am an officer. I took the prisoner on the 20th of September - I told him I took him for a case of felony - he owned he had pawned the two gowns.
JOHN BUCHANAN . I am in the employ of Mr. Baxter, a pawnbroker. I produce one gown pawned by a boy in the name of " Henry Wells " - I believe it was the prisoner.
EDWARD EDWARDS . I am a pawnbroker. I have one gown pawned by a boy in the name of " Henry Wells ," - I believe, by the prisoner.
GEORGE WELLS. These are my property - they were taken out of the drawers.
(The prisoner put in a written paper simply denying the charge.)
GUILTY . Aged 15. - Transported for Seven Years .
