Can any kind person help on information about Ezra Duval born 1848 at Leicester? He married Elizabeth Vann b. 1852 in 1869 in Leicester, they had a daughter Clara in 1871 and at this time he is found on the 1871 Census in Borough Gaol, High Cross St., St. Martin, Leicester. I would like to find out what he was imprisoned for. Thankyou, regards Joan (Adelaide South Australia)
