A great-granddaughter of James HEARD, the Essex labourer who was transported to Western Australia for stealing and illegally butchering sheep, has just made contact with Edwina after reading about James on the site. (see the article, James HEARD, convict from Great Leighs, in the 'TYLER' section of this website) Nice to hear from you, Shirley, and it will be good to share some more information.

Many of the articles in 'The Times' online archive concern national events not directly relevant to family history. However, the court reports, then as now, are sometimes fun in a weird kind of way. On one of my many trawls through, looking on this occasion for references to 'Great Waltham', Essex, I found a weird and amusing piece about the Great Waltham poorhouse, dating from 1829. Names are mentioned, but they are not related to Edwina's Family Tree. Look under the VIEW ARTICLES section, where I have posted this article. My own title for it is, 'We Want To Work', because it had no title when it originally appeared in 'The Times'.
