Convict - look up needed ...
« on: Wednesday 16 September 09 13:39 BST (UK) »
Hi All

I am looking for any info on a Convict: John Thompson/Thomson (Not a particularly unique name for sure! ;))

John appears in the New Bailey Prison, Salford, Lancashire on the 1861 Census.  I believe he was not there in 1851 and not there in 1871.  As i think I found him in Leek Staffordshire in 1851 and in Bethnal Green London on the 1871.

Anybody able to give me an idea of his crime etc.  any pertinent info.

I would appreciate the hand up
Cheers

YIkes ...

He was born in Leek Staffordshire.  If that at all will help narrow it down!

Yes, looking for John Thompson is like looking for a William Smith ... ;)

thanks for having a look Ricky  :)

I think I will have to hire a Researcher at the Manchester Archives and have them slog through the available Prison Registers for New Bailey and see if then cannot find him there.

Hi Ricky

Not sure why the post was moved or why it was edited??

I am not sure of John's exact birth date but it was around 1833 ...

Hi,
 The Prison calendars list at Manchester archives and the Quarter session is your best hope! read the Lancashire board posts as there are people (Post members )that visit these resources!.

Dobby
In my opinion the marriage residence is not always the place of birth. Never forget Workhouse and overseers accounts records of birth

Thanks Dobby

I will take a look at the Lancashire board and see if I cannot indeed find someone there!

Cheers
