Prison records COMPLETED
« on: Friday 23 February 07 21:37 GMT (UK) »
Hi can anyone help me,
I found out on the Poor Relief that my 4 x great grandfather was in prison for 60m days. He assaulted his son while drunk  :o
They were living in Dumbarton.
Any idea which prison he would have been sent too?
Would the records have survived.
He was in prison Feb 1853.

Thank you.

Hi

I don't know what prison he would have been placed in, although there was a small prison in Dumbarton.  I don't know if it was just attached to the Sherrif Court and for prisoners who were attending court, but I am sure the Nationa Archives of Scotland would have information about prisoners and prisons.  They have an online catalogue and you could e-mail them the question.

I received an email from NAS.
He was in prison several times, one time in Stirling Jail.
He got 3 years for stealing a comb and coat  :o

They have lots of other info to, so I will be planning a trip to Edinburgh soon  ;)
