Hi all
This is my first posting to this forum.
I am doing some research for the Wadhurst History Society.
http://www.wadhurst.info/whs/and found this thread.
I have collated a fair amout of information on this murder but still have some gaps & queries and wonder if any of you can help.
1) I have a court report of a remand to 28th June 1932 at Ashford, then nothing until the trial on November 25th 1932 at Maidstone.
This may just be that I am not looking in the correct area, I am assuming he would have been held either at Maidstone or Canterbury during this period.
2) The CRO record mentions the same crime twice (1st Feb 1927). once theft of ?10 and pince-nez. Then of ?11.50 on the same date?
3) The arrest report also seems to use the name of Sydney T W Anderson was this a third alias?
4) kyn, A copy of the other reports would be most welcome.
5) I assume that Collins would have been detained at Broadmoor, I can find no death date or record.
6) I can find no evidence to support the "fairground" incident mentioned in the first post of this thread.
Any other information gratefully received.
In return I have faily extensive records for Wadhurst and an index of the headstones in the Churchyard.
Thanks for reading this
Robin
