Hi All
I have returned to this search after many years and have just come across another record related to this Thomas Butler. ( may help someone else as well)
UK, Prison Commission Records, 1770-1951 for Thomas Butler
Thomas Butler aged 18 ( Born 1835) was convicted of "Theft from the person" in Nottingham in 1853 and sentenced to 7 years.
It also states he had 4 previous times he was convicted under "The Vagrant act".
His father was listed as also Thomas Butler "Frame work Knitter " and his address as
4 Pleasant Row, Gedling Street Nottingham.
His sentence was served at Wakefield prison and then moved to Portland Prison in 1854 .
Hi sentence completed 2nd March 1860.
Naughty boy

I do also please have a request please can anyone find the address given ( 4 Pleasant Row, Gedling Street Nottingham. ) on the 1841 & 1851 census please or know which parish this was in.
I have searched and searched and really struggling to locate.
Also I assume he was up before the magistrates in Nottingham for the 4 prior offences is there any reports in the newspapers that may help further with the search ?
Thanks in advance Judi
