Dear Jill


That was kind of you, it was very nice to see where my old granny used to live. The funny thing is when she got married they went to live in London. After the death of husband she had a place in Flood Street in London, now Magret Thatcher lives there how times have changed.

There were two Prisons in Lewes, one Naval and the other a General Prison. With the Title Commander could he have been in charge of the Military one

Dear Jill


Many thanks for digging those photo's out for me it was very nice of you.  Now James Bunce lived at 127 Little East Street, Lewes if you are passing that way....By the way on the 1891 census forms I am not sure if that was 127 or 27. If you don't have time or if you are busy I will understand.
Regards
Bryan

Many thanks for the replies,yes I had googled it but there is not that much information around most of it is just in general terms. I think the site of this prison is where the Bus Station is. As far as records go there is not a lot about this place.

My Great Grandfather spent nearly 30 years with the Royal Marines and had an excellent record with them. When he retired from the RM he was given a job at Naval Prison Lewes where he worked until he died in 1895. He resided in around Lewes while he worked there and some of his family was also born there. Now there seems to be very little around on this place and if I wanted to find out more where is the best place to go. I have tried the CRO at Kew but they don't hold any records on this Prison
