TheGenealogist is adding to its Court and Criminal Records collection with the release of almost 700,000 entries for prisoners. Sourced from the HO 8 Registers held by The National Archives, these documents contain records from the years 1821 to 1876. This expands our collection to over 1.3 million individuals covering 1801-1876.
Central Criminal Court, Old Bailey
These Prison Registers give family history researchers details of ancestors who were imprisoned in a number of convict prisons from Broadmoor to the Warrior Convict Hulk. The records reveal the names of prisoners, offences the prisoner had been convicted for, the date of their trial and where they were tried.
Use the quarterly prison registers to:
- Find ancestors guilty of crimes ranging from theft, highway robbery and libel to murder
- Discover the sentences received
- See the age of a prisoner
- Find out where they were sentenced and to which prison they were sent
