Please if anyone is visiting the Lancashire Records Office I need an electoral Register search for my G Grandad - Duckworth Hargreaves - I am trying to narrow my search down as to when he was sent to Strangeways Prison (as shown on the 1901 census).

Facts I know:
1) 1895 Duckworth Hargreaves final year (according to the Electoral Register) at Wash Lane, Bury, Lancs
2) 1901 Duckworth Hargreaves is in Strangeways Prison
3) 1901 His wife Sarah Stott lived at 131 Plantation Street, Bacup, Lancs
4) 1905 Duckworth's 2nd marrage certificates living at Turnhill Farm, Dean, Water, Rossendale

I would be so greatfull if somebody could search Duckworth Hargreaves on the electoral register at 131 Plantation Street, Bacup, from 1896 to 1904.

Kind Regards
Julian

Hi, this is my first post on here so go easy with me :-)  any advice would be welcome.

To cut a long story short I have no idea why my G Grandfather Mr Duckworth Hargreaves was in Strangeways prison on the 1901 census.  If we assume from the known/unknown facts that it was just a short custodial sentence, what advice and direction can you give me.

Known Facts for Duckworth Hargreaves:
1) 1853 Birth year
2) 1891 Census shows up as living at Wash Lane in Bury (married)
3) 1901 Census shows he is at Strangeways Prison (still married)
4) 1901 Census shows Sarah (his wife) is living at Plantation street in Bacup
5) 1905 Was definitely not in prison as it was his 2nd marriage to my G Grandmother in Bacup
 
Unknown Facts:
1) When he was sent to prison (could be anytime from the day after the 1891 census through to the day before he got married in 1905)
2) Why and for how long he was in prison. (my best guess would be that it was a short custodial sentence)
3) Which court sent him to prison
4) Which address he lived at when he was sent to prison (either Wash Lane, Bury or Plantation Street, Bacup)
