116 Page PDF File - The author’s 3rd great grandfather, George Ridgley (1804-1884), was a farmer and cheese dealer who owned freehold property in Motcombe, Dorset. As a freeholder, he was eligible for jury duty and found himself called to serve at the trial of Martha Brown née Clark, the last woman to be hanged in Dorset. This paper explores Martha's life from a genealogical perspective, suggesting answers to some of the persistent questions that have dogged other researchers.
