ONLINE PRISON RECORDS
« on: Friday 05 December 14 17:36 GMT (UK) »
Can anyone tell me if more information can be obtained from historic prison records as the ones online only show the town ie Manchester, age of person etc.  I would have thought an address or even a town would have been recorded somewhere, thanks

What I try and do is see in the court case was reported in the local paper. Sometimes you find something and sometimes you don't.

If your town was Manchester you'd have a greater chance than if it were, e.g. Buxton.
WHITEHOUSE- Bromsgrove, WANE - Eccleston, TOWERS - Blackburn & Ribble Valley, COLLINGE - Rawtenstall, THOMAS - Penzance, Whitehaven, Haslingden.
