Hello,
Just to ask what other sites I can search if Scotland's People has nothing.
We have some family knowledge of an Allan Thornton being imprisoned for a spell , we believe probably in his younger years, no idea what for or for how long. Ayrshire?
Born 12/6/1884 in Doonside, Maybole, married 20/11/1904 in Blackfriars, Glasgow
Working as a ploughman in 1901 in Pottersbar ?
Thanks

Thanks for the response, certainly fits.
Yes tried some local paper with no luck.
You aware of any other free resources?

Sorry, not aware of any free resources but the Scottish indexes as posted by others is the only place I know of to get his prison record details.
It only costs £5 so not expensive. Hardly the price of a coffee and a piece of cake these days.
