Victorian convicts in Milbank, Parkhurst and Pentonville prison records

TheGenealogist has released over 100,000 individuals into their expanding Court & Criminal Records collection. With this release, researchers can find the details of ancestors that had broken the law and were incarcerated in the harsh conditions of early Victorian convict prisons - including some that were only children!

The new data will allow the family history researcher to discover:

● Over 100,000 individuals in records covering the years 1838 to 1875
● Registers of prisoners inside Millbank, Parkhurst and Pentonville prisons.
● Each prisoner's age on conviction
● The marital status and whether the prisoner can read or write
● The convict’s former trade
● When and where they were convicted, their crime, sentence, where and whence received, previous offences, when removed and to where.

These fully searchable records are from the HO24 Home Office: Prison Registers and Returns 1838-1875 for Millbank, Parkhurst and Pentonville.
