Northamptonshire / Re: William Davey in Northampton Gaol
« on: Tuesday 02 September 08 20:15 BST (UK) »
Sandy: Thank you for clarifying!
Valda: Thank you for the background information!
I heard back from the Northampton archives, who confirmed their prison records for the County Gaol start in 1856, so too late to include my uncle William. They referred me to the British Archives (but oddly included the web address for the General Record Office rather than the archives; oh well), which I consulted this morning.
If I understand the archives website, this page includes the listing of assizes records for criminal trials: http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/catalogue/RdLeaflet.asp?sLeafletID=156
Looks like I need to consult ASSI 11 and possibly AASI 15, 34, 38, and 39.
