A convict escapes from the hulks, possibly a murderer. Pip is involved in a plan to bring items to the graveyard. Miss Havisham has not seen sunlight since Pip's birth. A confession involves stealing from a blacksmith.
Analysis of the evidence shows multiple claims are based on fictional narratives from Charles Dickens' 'Great Expectations', such as Miss Havisham not seeing sunlight since Pip's birth, along with elements of real history related to convicts escaping from hulks. No reliable evidence for a convict escaping recently from hulks as fact was found. The context for the claim about a convict possibly being a murderer because they were in the hulks is speculative. A real historical reference for a confession of theft was found unrelated to Dickens' setting.
