John Lennon's great uncle was... a habitual Victorian criminal!

On June 29, over 1.9 million legal and criminal records went online, with a new digitalised database unveiled by the National Archives and website Find My Past. According to "The Independent", browsing these records you can learn the criminal history of William Lennon - uncle of legendary musician and ex Beatles John Lennon over a period spanning over 20 years from 1876.

The documents show that William was convicted several times of burglary, pick-pocketing and other crimes. He was also found in possession of counterfeited coins in 1895. Prison records also state that Lennon had 15 scars.
