Find Ancestors

hi can any one help i am having great difficulty tracing thomas egan on the 1911 census he was born approx 1871 in bradford yorkshire he was in prison on portland in 1901 just can not find him at all any help would be most appreiciated david hullah

Just for background, that 1901 said he was married and was a general labourer ...

EDIT: Could you tell us who he was married to, and if there were any children?

Have you ruled out the one b 1873 with wife Annie living in Cheshire

Rule this one out as with his wife in 1901

The one married to Annie is with her in Cheshire in 1901 and isn't in prison .....

..... unless she said he was at home?

Posting that 1901 for reference:

In case it's the same chap:

Yorkshire Evening Post - 5 December 1899

At the Leeds assizes this afternoon, Thomas Egan (28), labourer, was found guilty on a charge of violently assaulting Robert Goodall, at Bradford, on September 27th.
He was committed to penal servitude for five years.

Unless David has found the wife and children in 1901 and Thomas not being at home presumed he is the one in prison

Clutching at straws with this suggestion

On his criminal record sheet

24 Apr 1895 - 6 months hard labour for aggravated assault
20 Oct 1893 - 6 months hard labour for inflicting bodily harm
Once sent to reformatory ship, seventeen times assaulting police constables, gaming, drunk, &c.

Doesn't help you find him.

Pam, do you mind me asking where you found that? (Could be useful for some of my lot!)

FMP have just released criminal records. If you don't have a sub send me a name and I will have a look. Dates available 1770-1934.

Oh, I forgot about that - I do have a sub. but thank you (off to see what I can dig up!)
