Bedfordshire Prison
« on: Wednesday 09 February 05 02:14 GMT (UK) »
Hello Bedfordshire  Cheesy

I have recently - yesterday- found that one of my ancestors worked at the prison.

I have him on the 1871/81/91 census when he had retired back to Cambridgeshire - he gave his occupation as retired gate porter in 1871. Pensioner from Hall Prison in 1881 and retired prison officer in 1891 - promtion in retiremant!

What I would like to know is where he may have lived whilst working at the prison and if the 1861 census is available for that area.

He was Henry King b 1820 Whittlesey Cambs and his wife was called Ann. I would love to know if they had any children.

Cheers

Try the look-up requests section of this site...see top of the page.  There seems to be many kind souls with access to the census data doing lookups.

Please note Bedford had several gaols but the main 19th C one is still in Bromham Road [modernised and extended since then]
