My article ‘Unfortunate Wretches’ on how I researched women executed in England and Wales in the late Georgian period for my book Women and the Gallows 1797–1837 was published in Your Family History magazine in their Criminal History section (Feb 2018). The piece covers online and offline resources, how I found images to illustrate the book and how I tried to give a voice to these ‘Unfortunate Wretches’ who have been largely ignored and forgotten by history.
