Sally helped me solve a mystery regarding my 4th Great Uncle who was arrested in London in 1821. I did not know what ended up happening to him. I thought the research would require an actual visit to the Archives in London. Sally, however, pursued my 4th Great Uncle’s fate…and found incredible documents online for me. I can say, really, Sally did an excellent job helping me! She is tenacious, and her summaries of the family events/timelines were so eloquently written. I really appreciate how much time and effort Sally put into this project and helping me solve a lingering riddle. (As it turns out, my 4th great uncle was arrested at 14 for theft. He was sentenced to hanging. However, he and his cohort were shown leniency. My uncle was sent to Australia, and has his own family tree there!).
I also very much appreciated Sally’s very prompt reply to my initial inquiry, and her very real curiosity about this case! I learned quite a bit through Sally’s research. For instance the explanation about how inmates were kept in offshore “prison hulks”. Thank you again, Sally! Nicki :)
