Graham Maxwell Ancestry - Prison Records

We have undertaken the project of indexing the prison registers of the Scottish Borders. These records, held at the National Archives of Scotland, have been up till now difficult to search due to the lack of indexes, but are packed with fascinating information about the thousands of individuals who were in prison, including their height, colour of hair and eyes, their offence and sentence, and much more. The indexes are easy to use and reasonably priced – they could hold the key to your ancestors’ lives.
