These records were transcribed by Jeff Carrick and are the same as they appear in the Parish Registers.

Although we have these records in our Parish Records database you will find them interesting as they are in the original format, many of which are in Latin.

William Burton of Woolaston was hung April 1819 at the Gloucester Goal
for the murder of William Symms.

Other people mentioned are William Hurd of Woolaston and James Henry
Ball (my 3rd great-grandfather) who may have been the parish constable
at the time.

James Henry Ball later married the widow of William Hurd.
