WEEK 48 – troublemaker

  WEEK 48 – troublemaker There are a few that fit the title of “troublemaker” including myself. However, there is 1 ancestor that comes to mind his name was James Lackey, he was my great grand-uncle. James was born 11 OCT 1871 Quarrington Hill, Durham, he was married twice and had 1 child to each wife, he died 10 FEB 1932 in Leamside, Durham. At age 14 he was caught stealing Ladies tights and underwear in a shop, he was reprimanded for it but this didn’t stop him, the said underwear and tights he stole and got away with (can only guess a different day) he was caught selling outside the shop for a cheaper price than the shop was selling them for and was again arrested. I shouldn’t laugh but this is quite funny and I do think the guy could have been quite a character.
