Hi All,
I have tried and tried to find out why my grandad was in Walton Prison while the 1901 census was being taken. Hadn't been able to finf him with the family the day of the census and a kind person gave me a pointer.
He was in Walton on the Hill Prison.List occupation News Vendor of own Means. I noticed it also said family so thought that was great.Wife called me for morning coffee so set printer going to get family. Three sheets of names,never gave it a thought so obviously I was new to the game. There was 150 names all the other guys in the jug at the same time with him. Is there any way I can find out what he was in for? Help or pointing in the right direction would be most appreciated.Best Regards Ken B
