Edith Abrahams 1884

[Vixen999]

Hi I came across a census for the below person at Winson Green, Birmingham prison.  I can’t find out why Edith Abrahams was convicted as it doesn’t state why.  What resources could I use to try and find out why she was imprisoned?  Could anyone take a look to see if you can locate a record about this?  Thanks

She is in the City Asylum not in prison.

Tab back to the first page. (13 if you are looking at it on ancestry)

1929 Dolly Abrahams and Edith Abrahams are on Spencer Street, Birmingham

CORRECTED
I went back too far, the asylum is page 13

1911 her brothers Ernest 1895 age 15 and Albert 1898  age 13 are in the Industrial School for Jewish Boys in Middlesex.

Hi
I've had a look at Birmingham Prisoner Calender up to 1922 on Ancestry and no luck and no mention of her in the Newspaper archive. Nothing in the Prisoner archives for Warwickshire either.
I tried the Roll of Suffragettes prisoners just in case ,but it's not comprehensive.

Sorry don't know what else to suggest

I tried the Roll of Suffragettes prisoners just in case ,but it's not comprehensive.

If it helps, here is a list of suffragette names at HMS Winson Green in 1909:

GRO Reference: 1884  J Quarter in BIRMINGHAM  Volume 06D  Page 233

I think without looking that she was 25 in the census so not sure if same person.  However I looked on the gro and couldn’t see another Edith Abrahams from Birmingham
