Kew Archives Lookup Please

[DJH]

In the 1901 Census, a relative of mine was a prisoner in Wormwood Scrubs. His name was Robert Graham and he was described as a Painter and decorator.
I would be most grateful if someone could go to Kew and lookup his crime, sentence and any other relevant information such as an address. The records are in the Home Office and Prison Commission - Prison Records Series 1 PCOM 2/154, 2/152, 2/158, 2/155, 2/153, 2/156 or 2/157.
Thank you,
David

Hi, just wondered if you had any luck finding your relatives Prison Records at Kew.  On 1881 census my relative John Lamb was in Wormwood Scrubs and the only info I have is a confinement register PCOM 2/157 at Kew which read Register 8.11.82 J714 Lamb John.  I would love to find out why he was in prison but don't seem to be able to find any records.  Wondered if you had any ideas?  Thanks.  Carolyn Graham

Hello,
I have had no luck in getting anyone to look up my ancestor. I am hoping, one day, to get down to Kew to do some looking up myself. Best wishes for your hunt.

David, thanks for your prompt reply.  I have just been redirected from the Prison Service Museum to the Galleries of Justice Archives Dept.  Their email is info@galleries.org.uk    and/or    info@nccl.org.uk.   It's worth a try.  Carolyn
