I am now curious to find why he was in prison!! Does anybody know how i can find this information? Thank you for any suggestions.

He was given hard labour, which would you would have thought would be enough to put him off the first time. I obtained this information from a cousin who had been researching the same line, and i think she probably got the info from the local records office. Maybe look at the website for the local archives contents?
