I have found William Sailwell (alias Sully)! He was hanged in September 1829 for the murder of his wife Sarah in May 1829. Apparently he was a founding left at Soylwell Farm so I doubt if I will go further with him. However, family legend has it that he was the strongest man in the West Country and used to wrestle all comers, so that will be my next search.

Thanks to Patsy McMillan her friend in New Zealand who have transcribed the Gloucester inquests between 1722 and 1838 on her web site www.genebug.net if anyone else is interested in chasing their criminal ancesters.
