- Murderous Stories of Inconvenient In-Laws
News of the Times Episode 307 | 1837 & 1861
Those pesky n-laws who get in the way of the whole purpose of having gotten married in the first place.
Our first case takes place in 1839. Charles Bartlett, who works as an entertainer with a travelling show, has met and married a young girl, scarcely 18, who brings with her an initial dowry of £45! Upon her mother’s death, she will inherit another £50!
Sadly, the mother-in-law is shot at from behind within a month of the marriage. Charles was the last person to see her alive…
Our second case from 1861 takes place in the peaceable parish of Anglesey, North Wales. Richard Rowlands has married the recently widowed daughter of a prosperous farmer. Unfortunately, the father rather despises Richard and gives him a deadline to pack up his things, and his new family, and remove himself from his property. There is one day left before he is required to leave when coincidentally, the father-in-law is beaten to death on a lonely pathway as he is walking home.
Two murderous cases of inconvenient in laws is today’s episode of Frightful Fridays.
We hope you enjoy the show!
Hosted by Robin Coles.

Pretty impressive that Anglesy went 32 years without a hanging. Those people must have been shocked to the core.
Thanks very much. Enjoyed. Have a most excellent weekend, everyone.
One of our team used to see Anglesey in the distance from her front window for a few years. Such a beautiful place - all low key, a great family holiday location. You aare right - the local population were truly shocked. Interestingly, as they wanted to protect the children, one of the richer families opened their grounds and invited the children on the hanging day. The place was flooded with tourists to view the hanging, but the papers do not relay any kind of spectacle satisfaction as on other cases we have reviewed. Also interestingly, he had Calcraft as executioner - that is a hike in terms of travel! Have a brilliant week coming up!🙏
@@newsofthetimes Ooo... Calcraft. Was surprised to find him there. I guess his motto was "Have hanging? Will travel." ( A bit of gallows humour there, forgive me.)
@@zero_bs_tolerance8646 😏👍
People with evil hearts that don't think about other, only themselves. Thank you for sharing.
Well said!👍 It is the factor of the women - one was more lke a girl - just being used that is just so additionally upsetting.😔
I love 'News if the times' soooooo much!
Wow!! Thank you! We love having you as a subscriber and supporter!🤗
Poor Mary Lewis!! What a HORRIBLE way to die!! NO AMOUNT OF MONEY IS WORTH COMMITTING MURDER FOR!! I wonder what happened to her daughter, the anonymous Mrs Bartlett?!
Richard Williams was a good judge of character regarding his new son-in-law Roland!! The fact that said son-in-law MURDERED him just proves the point!! Again, do you know what happened to Mr Williams' daughter and grandchildren?!
I'm glad both VILE sons-in-law got their just desserts!!
Thanks for yet another BRILLIANT video, Robin!! 💞😍❤👏👍👍🤗
Thak you -so glad you liked! Given the whole speed of marraige and murder - this all feels very predatory as it does with Rowlands. Possibly coincidentally, but it does come up over and over: if friends and family think the marraige is a bad idea - it is a bad idea!😉Sadly, we do not know what happened to the nameless Mrs Bartlett - bless her. We very much hope she stopped attaching herself within a week with vagabond travveling show artisits.🤞Thank you, as always.🙏
@@newsofthetimes Well, Mrs Bartlett's actions sure had deadly consequences, didn't they?! Mind you, she wasn't to know her future husband was a homicidal nutcase!! He also had the AUDACITY to write THAT LETTER too!! It was SOOOOOO self pitying - "Woe is me!!"
Back then people would trust anybody,
It certainly does seem so, doesn't it?😉
These two cases are two of the most "despicable," men who murdered their in-laws. First case, I believe Charles murdered his mother-in-law strictly for financial gains. Second case, Richard murdered his father-in-law for land property, I honestly don't believe either man loved the women that they married, period! Thrilled that they both received the death penalty. Do you know whatever happened to Charles' wife? Do you know whatever happened to Richard's wife and children? Great investigating, presenting, backstories, illustrations, photos and videos, as well. Take care 🦋
We think so too! Both cases sound like a rather mercenary use of the woman to get money or propery. We do not know what happened with either of the discarded women. Mrs Bartlett - we would hope her father would take her in. Mrs Rowlands and her extensive family - not sure if she wold have gained the farm? She had at least 1 boy who would have been of working age. If she had the farm, which sounded prosperous, that would have been an asset. There was some speculation in the papers - how much did she know of the murder plot of her father? - but this did not legally go anywhere and was not pursued. However if neighbours thought she was involved, she would have had a tough time remaining in the village - or even Anglesey itself which is not that big. Thank you, as always!🙏
