Hi sorry to but in on someone else's question, but I have a question on similar lines. I haven't been on this site for ages, but have in recent times returned to researching the family tree. My partner's G grandmother married a man called John Stowell, who I understand was a chemist. Whilst searching I found a John Stowell in the 1911 census in Dartmoor Prison (hence my interest in the question)It says he was a convict and a chemist. He was born in 1863 which would be about the right age for our John Stowell. How can I find out more information, and whether it is the same man. I am not paid up to either Ancestry or Findmypast. I am a member of myheritage and familysearch.org but can't find how to access prison records.
I'd be glad of any help,
Mary
