Hi, I would like to find out why Walter (George) Andrews was sent to prison, hope someone can help. 1901 census Fittleworth. George Andrews aged 10yrs living with his maternal grandparents the Sheppards. 1911 census Dartmoor Prison, Devon. Prisoner George Andrews, single, aged 20yrs born Coates. 1914 George Andrews married Louisa Trusler at Pulborough. Regards Heather Brooks

Heather, You might be able to find out more from Dartmoor Prison Museum ( http://www.dartmoor-prison.co.uk/). His trial and conviction would probably have been in the local (or even national) press, so newspaper archives might elicit something. I believe FindMyPast have some newspaper archives, too. An imaginative internet search of his full name together with the possible dates may bring up a court record. An outside chance is that if he was in the forces between 1914-18, his service record (if it exists) might lead to more information. Good luck, Tony www.tonyholkham.org On 16 November 2012 07:38, Heather Brooks <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, I would like to find out why Walter (George) Andrews was sent to > prison, hope someone can help. > > 1901 census Fittleworth.
