Prison Records

Thanks Jim, yes that is my family & I do have all the census but Bernard isn't with the family in 1901, you wouldn't beleive the spellings I have found for Wilmot!!!
The story has it that Bernard borrowed money from his brother, Hubert to invest in a rubber plantation in Malaya & lost all the money. Their father died in 1884 leaving them all a lot of money so I'm guessing that what ever Bernard was in prison for was to do with someone elses money going astray.....would really love to find out

you didn't say which Wilmot you had in prison in 1911.I assumed it was Hubert as his was the first name you put up.

Give us his name,occupation,age & family from 1891.

Person: WILMOTT, Hubert 

I thought you must have had a different one as he appears in Rugby in 1911.
So we're looking for Bernard.

Sorry Jim, yes it is Bernard Dinwoody Wilmot that I am looking for in 1901.
1911 he is in Maidstone Prison, Kent.

Hi,

Just a possibility, I wonder if this is Bernard on a passenger list,


Ship: Ballarat
Departure: 28 December 1899,  London
Bound: Calcutta, India
Mr WILMOT
Gent, English, Single, Male 
Passenger destination port: Colombo, Sri Lanka (Ceylon)     

part of his journey to Malaya?



I also found this incoming passenger which I thought a serious possibility considering he is travelling with a Mrs EARDLY, the same name as his nephew Harold's middle name.


Ship: Himalaya
From: Calcutta
Arrival: 20 Apr 1909, London

Embarked: Colombo
Landed: Plymouth
on the same line  WILMOT Mr & Mrs EARDLY   
1st Class
English
oddly they are marked in the accompanied by husband or wife column.


Where does the EARDLY name come from?   

Regards,
Daisy

Oh maybe not him, I've googled and there seems to be alot of EARDLEY/EARDLY WILMOTs about
