Does anyone know where I can find the inmate records for Ilchester gaol?
One of my ancestors, John Hill, was in the gaol in 1823 and I would like to know what he was in for.
Many Thanks, Paul Hill.

Hello Paul
Try the Somerset Archive Web Site http://www.somerset.gov.uk/archives/
On the front page the Ilchester Prison records are listed - click on the link -there is an online Surname search
Hope this helps
Sue

Hello Paul
I'm new to this site and was just wondering if you had any success in finding Ilchester Gaol Records, I too had an ancestor residing there in 1821 and would like to know more.
Thanks
John

Hi John,
Unfortunatly I was unsucessful in my search for the records of Ilchester gaol.
I wasn't able to get to the Somerset Records office so it might be worth a try.

Did anyone ever find out whether you are able to access the Ilchester Gaol records? Or do you have to pay the 25 pounds plus for someone to have a look for you??
I also have an inmate listed on the 5/1/1834....would be interesting to find out what she was in there for?.
Regards

I visited taunton record office and had a look at the goal records - there certainly wasn'ta charge for this and the office is free to visit and it is free to look at the records. great really that they keeo them all 
The goal records I looked at were from 1830 and they were really good, gave a description of the prisoner.
It really is well worth the visit and all for free - not £25

You are so lucky in being able to visit the original sources, but unforunately, I live on the other side of the world....so it's probably the 25 pounds (or more) for me!.
