I have traced my late husband's family back now 5 generations on his father's side. All was going well, no bother.
I am rather sad though tonight to find one of his great, great, great uncles, born in 1874 on the 1901 Census as an inmate in the Workhouse, only to die shortly after the census is taken age 47yrs. He was a married man, where his wife is is anyone's guess, i can't find a death for her. One of his sons is married in 1901 with a small baby, as to his daughters, anyone's guess.
It has made me quite sad to think that someone younger than myself could die in a workhouse.
