Hi Emma I'm not an expert but just googled archives+prison records. Maybe have a look at National Archives: http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/pathways/localhistory/gallery4/prisons.htm. There are more entries for different geographical areas - which area did your ancestor live in? Sorry if you have already done all this. Maybe nudge this tomorrow for the day shift to look at? Liz |

Surely his death certificate gives a cause of death? OC |
