The Lighter Side / Children in prison project

« on: Tuesday 29 January 19 07:02 GMT (UK) »

Hi I’m looking for a little point in the right direction.

I’m work in a school and I’m creating a project of children in prisons roughly between 1800-1910 in the UK to show different punishment and conditions.

I’m especially looking for arrest/prison records that contain pictures of the children. I’m aware this didn’t happen till the mid-late period I’m looking at and that not everywhere did this.

Thanks
Helen

Does anyone know of collections I should be looking at ? Establishments or areas that did this? Would save me a lot of time searching in the dark.

Also feel fre to mention any interesting or unusual crimes/ sentences you have come across.

Mother- Ann b: abt 1835 Paisley
children-
Mary Ann b 1856 Fenwick
Agnes b:1860 Bridgeton

Essex / Selina Mary A E Johnson 1891

« on: Friday 15 August 14 13:31 BST (UK) »

can you help me find my lost relative last document find is 1901 census, as Celina in East Hanningfield. she isn't with family in 1911.

I have several postcards from her dating upto 1919 but most don't have post marks, one is from Thaxted and I believe she may have been in the Maldon area, she signed herself Lina/Lena.

I can find no marriage or death for her and have searched for all variants.

Help would be appreciated.
