Criminal registers
« on: Wednesday 16 September 09 09:09 BST (UK) »
Hi

I am looking for William Light  and I know he was in prison in the 1881 census in Winchester - would love to know why and for how long.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Julie

Sorry Ignore the previous record ...if he only got 4 months then he would have been out prior to the 1881

Brain dead here this morning  :-[

Hi,

William Light was from Winchester and was born in 1864, in the 1881 census he is in Winchester prison age 17. I have been told that sometimes he went by the name John Light, but of this I am not certain.

Thanks for looking.
