Go to this link Nessa - http://libcat.dudley.gov.uk/02_Catalogu ... earch.aspx

and type in Black Country Criminal Ancestors 1787-1868

It seems that some library's have the book but not for loan
If you would like to have your ancestors photo's included in our Gallery, please send me a pm.

I don't think Nessa wants the book now, she has the details she needed.

Hope that all helps Nessa if you do need a copy yourself then at least now you have some pointers where to get it from, and of
course it helps anyone else that would like a copy.

moving this to misc section now.
