Name:- Thomas Temperal

Alias:- Tommy Otter

Gender:- Male

Town:- Lincoln

Bio:- Otherwise know as Thomas Temporal or Thomas Temple undertook a "shotgun marriage" to Mary Kirkham in 1805.
In those days couples could undergo a forced marriage if the woman was expecting a child by an identifiable father.
The reasoning was that a child with a legal father would not become the responsibility of the parish in which it had been born.
It turned out that Otter already had a wife and child living in Southwell. Tommy Otter confessed his guilt during a trail and was hung at Lincoln on March 14 1806. But what happenned to his body was even more gruesome!
