Does anyone know if or where any Kirkdale County Gaol records or reports might exist relative to staff? I am particularly interested in the period 1847 - 1855
My great great grandfather John ANGUS was appointed as the Head Warder at Kirkdale Gaol from May 1844 (Previously Police Inspector Liverpool Constabulary)
Parliamentary Papers, GB Parliament,
House of Commons, by HMSO, 1845 Page 61
Prisons of Great Britain - Returns of Officers
In 1844 he is recorded at: Bootle Lane KIRKDALE and 1848 Liverpool Directory only as KIRKDALE. There are a few articles in the Liverpool Mercury re both Police & Gaol events.
John disappeared or was possibly murdered sometime from the very late 1840's.
I haven't yet found him in the 1851 census but his wife Eliza & 4 children are now at Kensington Rd WEST DERBY.
Any guidance and suggestions appreciated (especially if they are accessible from Australia eg links, email contacts etc)
Regards
Glenn ANGUS

Thanks Garstonite, a bit more information to add to my family time-line.
