Prisons in County Antrim in 1832
« on: Saturday 22 February 20 16:36 GMT (UK) »
I am researching a man named Leonard Ingram who was found guilty in April 1832 at The Belfast Quarter Sessions Court of "mangling a corpse". He was sentenced to 18 months in prison. Can anyone please advise which prison he would have served his time in?
Thanks

I've just been reading the newspaper reports. What a gruesome story.

Yes, it was somewhat gruesome! He was buried himself in the same graveyard 30 years later.

Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!

Thanks, Aghadowey. Loads for me to read through here. I'm thinking it may have been Carrickfergus since Crumlin Road wasn't built at that time.
Thanks

The one from 1817 directory (my 2nd link) was early enough.

Thank you. In addition to looking for the prison there is so much of interest here. I am most grateful.
