I have been looking at these new records all afternoon,not found any of mine yet,still make interesting reading even if they are not your family.

Had trouble accessing the FMP site initially even though I have been registered for years & hold a full subscription & have the site bookmarked,had to sign in several times even though I never sign out.

There was a piece about it on Boulton & co on Sky news earlier today.

I have put in several of my family surnames without including place names & various counties / places came up.

from FMP.........About the crime, prisons and punishment records......
....Search for your ancestors in 518,000 records of criminals who passed through the justice system in England and Wales between 1770 and 1934.....

......We are publishing this collection in three phases.
Currently, you can view records for the period 1817-1931.
We'll publish records for the whole period, 1770-1934, in the coming months.
