George Langshaw

[Jaypl]

I have found a record in the Criminal Registers for 1855 for George Langshaw (Larceny - bad man!)

It is recorded in the March, Warwickshire Azzizes, he got 6 months if i'm reading it right!

Can anyone help with where I go next?  Are there local prison records for that area? etc etc,

You can visit the Warwick Records office (in Warwick, not too far from the castle) and view the records, many of which are held on micro film.   I went there a couple of months ago to look at the Prisoner Records of my gt gt grandfather (who committed the crime of Bastardy!) and it gave me quite a few details about my gt gt grandmother etc and I was able to take a photocopy. 

You'll need to take some i.d. with you to obtain a Reader's Card -  details are on their website

...  incidentally, your George isn't the one born in Coventry c.1835 is he?...   if so, I have him on a tree I've been working on for a mate.

The George I have is the son of William Langshaw born circa 1806 in Coventry and Elizabeth Newbold b.c.  1810 in Corley Ash nr Coventry.

Hello
Sorry to bother you but I am new to all of this... I am currently researching my family tree - surname Shrubsole... For some reason your contact came up under the search, but couldn't find anything relevant on your posts?
Apologies if you were not trying to find Shrubsoles of Wandsworth - my great grandfather was John Spencer Shrubsole.. but if you can help in anyway, I would love to hear from you...
Many thanks
