If some kind person out there could help me with a prison record for George
Whinney who was in Walton Jail in 1911, I do not have the 1911 census and also it may have been after that years census was taken. Can prison records be obtained from 1911?

Thank you very much for your help, this confirms family gossip, I don't suppose I could find out what he was in Walton Jail for? How would I go about this?

Again I am so grateful for this information.

Regards Gail.

On roots chat somebody was looking into whether there were any archived records - apparently not. You could try the local newspapers to see if any stories were run.
