Court records connect Police and Crime Panel meeting to family-history talk

Two Bristol-area events in late September touch on crime from different directions: Somerset Council listed an Avon and Somerset Police and Crime Panel meeting for 10.30am on Tuesday 22 September [2] and later recorded it as held [3]; Bristol & Avon Family History Society's Bath Group has scheduled a Zoom talk, 'Crime on Record', for Monday 28 September [1]. The talk will be given by Gill Blanchard and will cover prison, criminal and legal court records [1]. The society said it will explain the differences between Petty Sessions, Quarter Sessions and Assize Courts, and is aimed at people whose ancestors were victims or perpetrators of crime [1].
