I hope I can be excusedfor intruding but I have a similar problem as Luv in that my G/grandpa William Adamson ,b.1840 in Whitby, Married & resident in Liverpool in 1881 . Was actually registered in Kirkdale Prison on 1881 census but I have been unable to find evidence of his conviction or sentence which is giving me a lot of angst ,If anyone can help I would be most grateful .

Cumberland Lookup Requests / Re: Holy Trinity Parish registers - Hamilton
« on: Tuesday 08 July 08 15:00 BST (UK) »
Hi Ev, I am aware of that Harriet which has caused some confusion between Bowmans & our family , & she left Cumbria for the North East at 6yrs of age , whereas our Harriet was resident in the whitehaven area until marriage & death at Lampugh in 1835, it is possible I have the wrong baptism date , I have our Harriets father , I think , as Anthony (on a will) but no mother . I hope I haven't caused more confusion . Thank you for your time & efforts . Ron Hamilton .N.Z.

Hi Colette , Thank you for your efforts. In 1871 He & Wife Annie were in Hamilton Rd , Everton. In !881 Annie & family were in 57 St Albans, Anfield, minus William, who was booked in to Kirkdale Gaol, aged 41, book-keeper, married, born Staithes ,Yorks . He was home with the family at 57 St Albans in 1891 . I suspect he might have been 'fiddling the books ', but I'd love to get some detail . Ron

I hope I'm not offending anyone by intruding here . I have a problem , My G/Grandpa William Adamson , book-keeper ,41 was an inmate in Kirkdale Gaol in 1881 & I would dearly like to locate information as to his offence etc. He does not appear to be in Liverpool Records Files & I have hit a brick-wall & would appreciate any suggestions to proceed further .
