hello,

Just going through all the messages and came to your dilemma about William Bennet. Are there any records for the Bailey, after all if he was a prison officer/police man then perhaps he died at the prison so on record there?

 

Was turnkey always a policeman or did this term cover such occupations as watchman or guard too.

If it was a term used fo multiple occupations then perhaps a review of the name in census with location given as the nearest lock-up / goal might be an option
