Swaffham House of Correction
« on: Monday 07 August 06 12:23 BST (UK) »
Hi

Where can I obtain records for someone who spent time at the Swaffham House of Correction in 1827? Crime was housebreaking and he was sentenced to one year.
Name: William COBLE (also known as Covell)

Thank you
Karen

Hi Teddy

No I have corresponded with you before!!! But yes, I have emailed OzyBob before, but am trying to confirm that the person who was sent to Swaffham and consequently transported, is the same as the one that came out - seeing there is a difference in the name - Coble and Covell. He was not able to provide me with any more information than I already had.

Cheers
Karen

ps. Is Norwich Castle and the Swaffham House of Correction one and the same?
