Debtors prison records

[gazania]

In the 1841 census, Hannah Harry, publican, was an inmate of the Debtors Prison, Carmarthen.
According to Pigots directory of 1844 and the 1851 census, Hannah Harry was the publican of the Fountain Inn, Thomas St., Llanelly.

Where can I find any records concerning Hannah's admission to the Debtors Prison?

Thank you, Gazania

I suggest you write to, or email, the Carmarthen Archives Service, unless someone comes up with the answer directly. If they don't have the records, it's likely they'll know where they are - or that they don't exist! http://www.carmarthenshire.gov.uk/english/education/archives/Pages/Home.aspx

Might be worth a whirl on the London Gazette site for lists of insolvent debtors, and also in http://www.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk/

Thank you, Graham,

Found more about Hannah Harry from your references.  She was discharged from debt in 1841 and then returned to the Fountain Inn.  If I need reasons I may have to contact the Archives. Gazania
