John Weir Prison Record, help to decipher his description please
« on: Tuesday 07 July 15 18:02 BST (UK) »
Can anyone help to decipher this extract from the prison record of my Gt x2 Granddad John Weir please... He was only 19 and drunk, so not that bad considering :D

Many thanks in advance

Thank you all. I need specs too :)

any ideas as to "C brown" for hair colour?

in the column headed personal (chopped it off since he is halfway down the page) it says
Height
Complexion
Hair
Eyes

and his description for that column appears to  be
5'1
Fresh
C Brown
Grey

(or that's what it looks like to me) brain racking comes up with nothing but Chocolate Brown for C Brown  ;D  ;D
any thoughts please?

Thank you  ;D It's always good to have another opinion - it's obvious when someone says it - but when you try to consider all options it's amazing how blank your mind can go  ::)

Thanks for replying... I can telephone my dad now to describe his gt granddad. He will be pleased!

I think it's great to have descriptions on a document....it makes it so much more personal.
