hi all
My hubbys great great grandfather was in prison on the 1891 census
the prison in question is H M Prison, Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire.
I cant understand why he would be in prison in buckinghamshire when in the previous 1881 census and then the later 1901 census he was living in lancashire
his poor wife stated on the 1891 census that she was widowed
but 10years later on the 1901 census there he was living back with her, she was obviously too embarrassed to tell the truth.
i wonder what his crime was, and why a prison in buckinghamshire, it seems a little far away from his home town. surely he could have been sent to a closer one. ie. strangeways. could he possibly have travelled due to his occupation.
his occupations were
1871 railway porter,
1881 labourer,
1891 engine driver excavator, (in prison this census)
1901 labourer navvy
is there anyway i could find out was his crime was, maybe a newspaper article, is there any newspapers online that i should check
thanks
