Title: William Blythe - Durham Gaol 1901
Post by: r107066 on Tuesday 10 July 07 23:50 BST (UK)

Hi Guys,
It appears my GG Grandfather William was in Durham Gaol on the night of 31 Mar 1901, What for??
I wonder if SKS can tell me how I find what he was in there for and how long he had been sentenced to. He is entered as William BLYTH Iron Moulder Aged 45.
I am also concerned as to whether he died in Gaol because he is mentioned as Deceased by 14th June 1902.
Any direction would be appreciated. I believe he was living at 6 Brewery Square, Stockton on Tees in 1891.
Kind Regards,
David :) :)

You'll get a better response to this if you post it in Durham look-ups.  I asked the same question recently. 

If you contact Durham Records Office they have an index which I know starts in 1867 (too late for me).  They checked it while I was on the phone.
