Elijah from Wigan was in Kirkdale Gaol in 1871. Judging by his childrens age he must have been there between 1865 and 1872.  Sorry got wrong name for second He was Ezikiel. Was in Jail in 1841, died 1851 before census. Was only 38 when he died.

Hi everybody. Found my family skeletons in the cupboard made the cupboard a bit crowded. Apart from one in jail for several years for serious assault, found his son some 20 years later in jail for 9 months for assault and my great grandmothers brother sentenced after attempting to mug someone.  I know my father always said that he was regarded with fear and trepidation because they had never had someone in the Grammar School from his area. It was known as an area of immorality. Hadn't thought of my family being involved though. Makes me think of later generations with great respect knowing where they originated from and how they became educated and respected members of society. My father became a clergyman and was the first in his family to go to Grammar School and also get a degree.
