Nelson & His World

For those who may be interested, but http://www.ancestry.co.uk have recently released Prison Hulk Registers and Letter Books 1802-1849 on their site.

Thanks for that useful resource, Stephen.

Do you know what sort of detail the records give - prisoner's place of birth, for example? This is always useful if you want to go back to parish registers.

Anna, As my family Genealogy seems to be honest and good! I have as yet not had to delve into these records
