Advice please - where do I look?
I have found someone in Wakefield Prison in 1851. Having asked round I've been told that no records exist for the prisoners at that time (other than the census)
It has been suggested that I look at the quarter sessions and see if I can find anything that way.
My problem is - which quarter sessions do I need to look at? Would it be Wakefield or would it be one nearer his home town of Worksop? He was at home in Worksop in both 1841 and 1861.
Does anyone know if there any details of quarter sessions on line?
Many thanks
