Hi
I was interested to read the article on ‘ Murderers, prostitutes, mothers and paupers: Victorian female prison registers online for first time’ published by Simon Leo Brown, ABC Radio, Melbourne, Australia.
Is it possible that you may know where I might be able to find similar records in Canada?
An help would be very much appreciated
Kind regards
Maxine
