This is a list of prisoners between 1839 and 1878 who were born or resident in Melrose parish. The list was prepared using the database of Scottish Borders prison registers which has been compiled by Graham and Emma Maxwell, who have given permission for the list to be reproduced here. If you find a relative in these records you should contact the couple to order a copy (at low cost) of the full prison register entry for your ancestor. The original prison registers are very informative. I found a ggg-grandfather from Hawick in these records, and now know why he was in prison, how long his sentence was for, as well as his height, hair colour, eye colour, and weight.
The list below is alphabetical. Each line has name, occupation and residence, age, birthplace, the prison they served time, and the year of their imprisonment. The list is in a number of sections, each dealing with a different connection with Melrose, so there are some overlaps, and some names occur multiple names. The original records are held at the National Records of Scotland in Edinburgh, and Graham and Emma can provide copies of these.
Note: there are other prisoners in the database who were recorded as born in Galashiels, who may have been born in Melrose parish. But for practical reasons, and because many of them would have been born outside Melrose for all practical purposes, I have omitted them from the list below.
