Has anyone any tips on finding people in prison in censuses using Ancestry? I have several missing relatives, especially in 1861, and I'm fairly sure that's where they are to be found, in the Herts/Beds/Bucks area. Patricia

Patricia, In the "Keyword" box of the search screen simply type "Prison". It will then list all those individuals who were in prison.

Thank you Brian. I tried that and it worked. Didn't find my relatives though!
