John WOODLOCK, born 1847, Bristol

[BAC3]

Hello,

Can someone please suggest how I can confirm that John WOODLOCK, a prisoner at the Gloucester County Gaol, died there on 20/04/1866 aged 19.

Thank You,

Purchase the death certificate, that will tell you where he died.

Emeltom,

Thank you.   But as he is just one of many people being researched for academic reasons, finances dictate against the GRO.    I did approach Gloucester Archives, who were extremely helpful, though unable to confirm the supposition that he did die in prison.

As John WOODLOCK was sentenced 9 August 1865 - for 15 months - this would mean he was still serving his sentence - so either fell ill or accident?  Nor sure whether there would have been a Coronor's Inquest.  There are earlier ones mentioned in newspapers articles on the net - stating the Inquests took place at the Gloucester prison.
