Does anyone know of any sites that have prisoner mugshots on them. My 3x gt Grandmother Maria Oliver who, together with three others including one of her sons William, was sentenced in 1894 to 18 months hard labour at Stafford prison. It was for a nasty assault on a John Cook in Kingswinford Staffordshire.

If you google "Stafford Prison Mugshots" there is quite a selection. This one looks hopeful, although I haven't actually tried entering any names.

Thank you so much for your reply Andysmum, really appreciate it.

There is no record relating to Maria Oliver on the site but I now for certain she was there as I have read the record on FMP.
