Thank you Jan much appreciated Margaret

Margaret have replied and also wonder if that one i have sent is the right one then there might be a report in the paper about a death in prison?

Thank you jansmith have sent details through to you Margaret

there should still be a death index for a cert but it would depend when it was if it has been transcribed and put on there yet. Find my past may have more years covered

Margaret ,

It would still be indexed in GRO if he died in England/Wales, after 1837 regardless of place of death.

Prisons would hold a record that Prisioner 12345/ Jones---- had died,,,,,,but it would still have gone to the normal registration process.also the place of death isnt recorded in the GRO indexes just the area,,,,ie Manchester/Liverpool,,,,,,even a slim chance the certificate may not say, HM Prison,,, but the address of the prison.

Hello ,yes i have tried there no joy.
I did wonder if prison records are not available to the public.

if you want to post name and any info you know i.e year of birth i can have a look on find my past site as well (if you do not want to post name on here you can click on my name and send it as a message to me)

Hello all, I am trying to find info on a relation who I know died in prison.
