Hi not sure if anyone can help but I may have stumbled upon first criminal in the family lol and wondered if anyone knows how to obtain Court Records.
I think my great great grandfather Andrew Harrower and his cousin Robert Harrower were sentenced to 3 months hard labour in November 1880 at Alloa Sheriff Court in Scotland.
According to local papers, which I looked up at the library, they were caught by the local gamekeeper for poaching and they assaulted him and were locked up in Alloa Prison.
Would anyone know where I could obtain Prison or Court records for the period to firstly confirm it is my ancestor and secondly find out some information on the case.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
