Records of more than 67,000 Victorian criminals, detailing crimes ranging from petty theft and drunkenness to arson and murder, have been published online for the first time today. The fascinating collection, released by Family history website Ancestry.co.uk also tells the stories of local peacemakers of the time, including jury candidates and members of the local militia. And two of the archives - The Dorset, England Prison Admission and Discharge Registers 1782-1901 and Dorset, England, Calendar of Prisoners 1854-1904 - also include mug shots of 19th century convicts. The records include the criminal's name, place and date of conviction, sentence, physical description and details of previous crimes.

Southwell workhouse correspondence. This series consists of correspondence of the Poor Law Commission, the Poor Law Board and the Local Government Board with Poor Law Unions and other Local Authorities.
It covers the years 1834 to 1900. Poor law unions were collections or groups of parishes brought together to administer poor relief. Earlier 'unions' were refered to as 'incorporations' and some of these existed until the 1860s (which is why for some areas there are no correspondence until the old incorporation was dissolved and the new union organised). The Victorian poor law was predicated on the 'workhouse test'. This is where poor relief would be offered via the 'deterrent workhouse', designed to be an institution of last resort.
The papers range through the whole field of poor law and (after 1871) local government and public health administration. Digital copies of selected 19th Century Poor Law Union and Workhouse records from MH 12 can be searched and downloaded. British Newspaper Archive. British Library newspaper archive puts 300 years of history online.
