A new biography of the woman who might one day be Queen discloses that her great-great-great grandfather was a prisoner.

An entry in the 1881 census shows that Edward Thomas Glassborow, an ancestor of Miss Middleton's father, Michael, was listed as an inmate at Holloway Prison in London.

He is one of 436 occupants listed at the institution, which is now a women's prison.

There are no known records to explain what crime Glassborow had committed but it is clear from later papers that he went on to turn his life around.

Birth records for his son Frederick, Miss Middleton's great-great grandfather, a few years later show that he was then listing himself as a "gentleman of independent means".

Ben Kinsella, 16, the younger brother of actress Brooke Kinsella, 24, died after being knifed in York Way shortly after 2am on Sunday.

The killers of Ben Kinsella were gangster wannabes * * By Ryan Parry 12/06/2009 (L-R) Alleyne, Braithwaite and Kika (Pic:Met Police) (L-R) Alleyne, Braithwaite and Kika (Pic:Met Police) As members of the Market Massiv' gang, Michael Alleyne, Jade Braithwaite and Juress Kika demanded respect and loyalty. They fancied themselves as gangsters but in reality they were drugdealing cowards, armed with guns and knives, who needed ferocious Staffordshire bull terriers for protection. After gang leader Alleyne, his deputy Braithwaite and the lowly Kika were convicted of Ben Kinsella's murder, a source close to the group - too scared to reveal his identity - broke ranks to speak to the Mirror. He said: "They thought they were real bad boys walking round with their Staffs and a knife in their pocket. Mikey (Alleyne) had two Staffs and thought he was untouchable. This was his manor, no one could come down here and f*** with it. "They worked in twos for protection and they...
