Thank you all, both for the guidance of where a and how to post and the initial results.

I very much appreciate your feedback.

Kevin

the Newcastle courant (1870)has an article about a James Rawley age 30 in a serious accident in a ship building yard at Hebburn....he was a painter.....may not be the same one, but you never know.

Don't think this is relevant but if someone with the appropriate sub could take a look please?

Sorry if this is the wrong place to post or in any way inappropriate.

One of my wife's ancestors is James Rawley listed in the 1871 and 1881 census as a prisoner:

1871: archive ref rg10, folio 33, page 27, piece 5037 address Hedworth Mnkton & Jarrow described as Prisonners Police Office

1881: archive rg11, folio 127, page 1, piece 4959 described as prisoner at Old Elvet, Durham

I am trying to discover how long he was there, what he was in for, but just about a full day of searching has got me absolutely no where. Could anybody point me in the right direction.

Many thanks

Kevin
