A Rogues’ Gallery

A Rogues’ Gallery

Are you missing an ancestor in the late 19th and early 20th centuries? Perhaps they were held in Gloucester Gaol?  Half of the prisoners held there were not originally from our county of Gloucestershire.  Some came from as far away as Canada and Australia.  Many came from other counties in England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales as well, so check the list of prisoners’ surnames below to see if one of your relatives may have been incarcerated there.

The book contains photographs and criminal records for some of the prisoners held in Gloucester Gaol during 1870 and between 1883 and 1906 and is now available.  Entitled ‘Victorian Prisoners in Gloucester Gaol – A Rogues’ Gallery’ it is on SPECIAL OFFER from the author at £8.00 plus UK Mail p&p of £3.00, Surface Mail p&p of £7.00 or Air Mail p&p of £10.00.
