Using this record
This alphabetical index should be used to find registration numbers for
male prisoners received into prisons in the Melbourne area between 1868
and 1947. Prisoners are listed alphabetically by the first letter of their
surnames. Because of the overlapping chronological arrangement of each
of the volumes listed above, you may need to consult more than one volume
to locate the prisoner name for which you are searching.
With the exception of volume (or unit) 2, the alphabetical listings include
the registration
number, prisoner name, and the volume and page number of the register
in which their details can be found. Volume 2 lists only the registration
number and prisoner name. To obtain further prisoner information, take
note of registration, volume and page numbers (if available) to order
the required volume (unit) of VPRS 515/P0 Central Register of
Male Prisoners through the website for viewing in the Victorian
Archives Centre Reading Room.
Further resources
For prisoners received prior to 1868 refer to the Victorian Male Prisoner
Index available on microfiche in PROV reading rooms. Registration numbers
of female prisoners can also be searched online by consulting VPRS
10879/P0 Alphabetical Index to Central Register of Female Prisoners.
