*COMPLETED* Prison Records

Post by cid »

Hi folks,

Could anyone tell me if it's possible to get a look see at someones prison records from 1870. The Birmingham Daily Post carried the story, so assume the court was in B'ham. Have looked on Warwickshire calendar of prisoners, but no luck. Can someone also tell me if these news reports are viewable, and if so in which archives? B'ham poss :?:

Regards
Cid

A person should have an opinion on everything, It becomes tact whether you reveal that opinion or not.

If you have the name and year etc then might be worth emailing B'ham they stock the following

and drop an email to Warwickshire Council too
