The following are the executions performed by James Billington. If there is no assistant listed it can be assumed that the execution was conducted without the use of one. When an assistant is referred to as Thomas, William or John, this is one of the Billington sons.
HP = Henry Pierrepoint
JB = John Billington
TB = Thomas Billington
WB = William Billington
RW = Robert Wade
T = Thompson
TS = Thomas Scott
WW = William Warbrick
There are instances where William Warbrick refers to being an assistant at an execution but his presence is unproven, in this case *WW will appear.
In every case the prisoner’s crime was murder.
