Thanks for this Dave. I have had a very quick look at these court records and had no trouble in locating many records for those who gave their place of birth as Londonderry/ Derry, Donegal, Tyrone and Fermanagh. A great resource for those whose forebears emigrated to Glasgow. Regards, Len Swindley, Melbourne, Australia

Dear friends and colleagues Stalwart blog writer Dick Eastman has drawn my attention to an announcement by Glasgow-based genealogists Emma and Graham Maxwell who have added to their portal for Scottish prison records. These can be searched, e.g. by “Place of Birth” – I tried “Ireland” and “Londonderry” (“Derry”) and got several hits. (“Tyrone” didn’t seem to work.) Unfortunately (or is it fortunately!) I found no hits for the key surnames I’m pursuing (and one fellow I know was a “naughty boy”, at least with the lassies!) Glasgow, Scotland – In a continuation of their Scotland's Criminal Database project, Glasgow based genealogists Emma and Graham Maxwell have released an index to a further 43,000 historical Scottish Prison records. https://eogn.com/page-18080/12654319 https://www.scottishindexes.com/coveragescd.aspx In any event, a reminder of the tough times many folks experienced in trying to “live a life” and to make ends meet …. Hope someone will find a lucky hit or a missing relative. Kind regards Dave Mitchell Cape Town South Africa
