Hi Euan, You say he was sentenced in 1857. Any luck finding him in the next census which would be 1861? Do you know his occupation? If he was a seaman or member of the armed forces he could have died overseas and not been registered in Scotland.

I haven't been able to find my Robert or his death cert. I have worked out using the census roughly how old he was, but to no avail. I have tried all the spelling variations, of which there are many.Still no luck. When I saw this newspaper article I thought may be this was the reason, he was in prison, or died in prison.I cannot find him in Scotlands people at all. I will have to look at the prospect of him not being in Scotland when he died. Euan. ________________________________ From: Nivard Ovington <ovington1@sky.com> To: angus@rootsweb.com Sent: Wednesday, 28 November 2012, 15:39 Subject: Re: [ANGUS] Prisoners Hi again His death would be registered where it occurred and in the usual registers, if he was in prison it would be registered wherever the prison was Try <http://www.pkc.gov.uk/Education+and+learning/Libraries+archives+and+learning+centres/Archives/Archives+and+family+history/Family+history.htm> For prison records Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 28/11/2012 14:46, EUAN TEVIOTDALE wrote: > Hi Nivard, > > I am working my way through the newspaper section in Find my Past, > and only read about one Robert Teviotdale being sent to prison for > nine months by Arbroath Sheriff Court in May 1857.
