Prison

Hi,
Just found a Greenock man in one branch of the family tree, who was in prison at time of 1891 census, dont know why he was in prison.
On 1901 census, he is listed as 'lodger' at 9 William Street, Greenock, with loads of other men. Was this the address of the prison, during that time.
any help appreciated

Hi wonder if your ancestor knew my ancestor - he was also living there at that time - The old police station used to be around William St, behind the Old James watt college The building still stands although empty, and has a statue of james Watt outside it
The prison was at the top of William Street, just behind where the Mid Kirk is now - would have to look out my old greenock photos to be sure

Hi weemary,
yes, Hugh McIlmoyle ex footballer is a cousin of my dads. Do you have McIlmoyle connections? Not found anyone else researching them. Well not strictly true, there are a few people researching McIlmoyle, but no connection to the ones in my tree.
regards Gillian
