I'm sure they could help you. Perhaps there are newspaper reports about your grandmother. If I was you I'd give them a call about your predicament.

Good luck Christine. You must let us know the result of this one.

I doubt whether the prison would have the information. Newspapers is another option but it would mean a long search as you don't know when the crime was committed.

Hi all

Just an update twins died 6 days apart both from malnutrition and exhaustion they were 5 months old but were not born in the prison.
Was it usual for woman convicted of a crime to be imprisoned with their babies.The older children were left at home

I think at that time, it would be normal for the twins to be breast-fed. Perhaps that's why they went to live with their mother.

Have you contacted the Archives? I think that has to be the only option.

Her husband was a marine fireman who was away at sea a lot.I don't think she was employed at the prison rumour has it she was very fond of the "pop"

Christine

Christine Report 21 Sep 2009 16:06

The family was split up and the older children were taken away but that didn't happen until 5 years after the twins died

Christine

Christine Report 22 Sep 2009 20:42

Have now checked workhouse records thought she might be transferred from there to jail nothing found then was advised to check LSPCC records (early NSPCC) to see if any neglect or abuse nothing found .

Any further suggestions anyone please



Chris
