I have just found my husband's grand uncle on the 1921 census, and he appears to be an inmate at HM Prison, Carliol Square, Newcastle.
He is listed as an out of work miner from the Ashington Coal Co.
Looking through the other names on the page, most of them also seem to be out of work, some from other coal companies and ship builders.
Was there something going on in the area in 1921 that would have seen men imprisoned?
