Thanks for this Dave. I have had a very quick look at these court records and had no trouble in locating many records for those who gave their place of birth as Londonderry/ Derry, Donegal, Tyrone and Fermanagh. A great resource for those whose forebears emigrated to Glasgow.

Dear friends and colleagues
Stalwart blog writer Dick Eastman has drawn my attention to an announcement by Glasgow-based genealogists Emma and Graham Maxwell who have added to their portal for Scottish prison records.
These can be searched, e.g. by “Place of Birth” – I tried “Ireland” and “Londonderry” (“Derry”) and got several hits. (“Tyrone” didn’t seem to work.)
Unfortunately (or is it fortunately!) I found no hits for the key surnames I’m pursuing (and one fellow I know was a “naughty boy”, at least with the lassies!)
Glasgow, Scotland – In a continuation of their Scotland's Criminal Database project, Glasgow based genealogists Emma and Graham Maxwell have released an index to a further 43,000 historical Scottish Prison records.

In any event, a reminder of the tough times many folks experienced in trying to “live a life” and to make ends meet ….
Hope someone will find a lucky hit or a missing relative.
