Well im bk trying to further myself with my family tree this has put me off for about 9 months getting bk on with it as i dont know where to get the following info from!
My great grandmother it says on her birth cert that she was born in wormwood scrubs prison. Is there anyway i can find out if her mother was in there by going onto some site with the census records on for this period or a site for prisons!! I have not come across this situation before! I posted something on here about 9-10 months ago and someone gave me a link but it only put me through to the prison site with no other details!! Pls pls can anyone help me..... ::) or point me in the right direction or even advise me in some way how to progress.
Many many many thanks Heather x

Hi Curly, these are the records of Wormwood Scrubs held at LMA, Dawn does look up at LMA so it may be worth you contacting her directly and asking nicely, you can see that the last 'block' i gave you covers the years you require.
