Wakefield Prison Records 1891
« on: Thursday 13 March 14 19:20 GMT (UK) »
Hi all,

I am helping a friend with their family research & have discovered a family member was in HM Prison in Wakefield on the 1891 Census. (RG12/3750/148/15)

The person in question is 13 year old Irving Lindsay who on 2nd April 1891 at the General Quarter Sessions of the Peace at Doncaster, was convicted of breaking & entering a shop & stealing £3 in money & goods. He was sentenced to 3 weeks inprisonment followed by 5 years in a reformatory.

Would there be any prison records, ie admittance & or transferral to the reformatory & if so where would they be?

Many thanks in advance.

Kind regards

David

Irving was a active young fella  ;D

He was also in trouble in Dec 1889 and again in May 1890 for pinching pigeons.

If your interested in the newspaper articles PM me your email and i'll forward them on.
