hi, I wonder if anyone can help?
I found one of my Great-Great Grandfathers on the 1851 census, in Bridewell Prison Bristol listed as a Prisoner....(second convict i've found so far!) What i'd like to know is if i could find out what he was charged with? Another ancestor was a 'lifer', and I got the details from the National Archives, but I seem to have drawn a blank here. My GG Grandfather was John Ware. (although the name changed gradually to Weir in the 20th Century.)
Many thanks for any info you may be able to give!
