Many, actually the majority of Dartmoor records were destroyed in the 1930's during a riot at the prison. There is Dartmoor Prison Museum, which it might be worth contacting. Their web address is http://www.dartmoor-prison.co.uk Newspapers may have carried some details. Have a look at GENUKI www.genuki.org.uk I say usually because there is the facility for a D notice to be issued, which means data is frozen to be published in the media, each case is reviewed on its own merit, with of course public safety & national security are the drivers for the decisions made. Usually prisoner records are sealed for 100 years from the last record entry. One further opportunity might be to contact the Halliday One Name / Surname researcher. The study is registered with he Guild of One Name Studies www.one-name.org Insert Halliday in the search box (top right) & that provides a link to the study registrar, Chris Halliday.
