Hi Edward -- Would you happen to know where one might obtain prisoner's lists from Dunbar and Worcester? There are several other researchers who have been trying to locate such lists, without much luck. There's evidently one ship's list for Worcester prisoners online but nothing else. Would prisoners have been listed in Scotland, or in England? What ports were used to send them to the colonies? Any help most appreciated. Judy Edward Andrews wrote: > Not quite.
