Hi all,
I have a Thomas Roe who is living in the Workhouse in Offcote and Underwood, Ashbourne, 1881 and again in 1891 and who died in 1897. I would presume that he died in the Workhouse (He would have been abt 73 years old)
My question is would they bury him in his home village of Snelston (which is only a few miles down the road) with his wife or bury him in Offcote and Underwood.
Did workhouses have their own plots for paupers or what was the story... anyone with any insight on this please enlighten me.
all the best Angela.

Hi,
Think you will find a number of options re burial of a workhouse inmate.
1. Families would be informed of death, and if they could afford
to bury their relative would take possession of the body.
2. Board of Guardians would arrange for burial, in local Church Yard or
burial ground in unmarked grave, possibly with other unrelated
individuals.
3. Bodies donated for medical research.
4. Parish from where the inmate originated may have been responsible
for burial, this could have taken place in that parish but more likely
in the Parish of actual death - again all down to costs.

Thanks Spendlove,
thats most helpful. Would you know if the board of Guardians would keep records of deaths and how the body was disposed? I know Derbyshire record office hold the Board of Guardian minute books....would that hold any clues???
I get to Derbyshire once a year for one day and have to fit all my lookups in that tight schedule...so I have to try and organise what I'm looking for to maximise my time.
Thanks again you've been very helpful
All the best Angela

Hi
To be certain of what the Minutes contain for Ashbourne Guardians I would
e-mail the County Record Office at Matlock and ask:-
record.office@derbyshire.gov.uk
There is another Web Page:-
http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~spire/Yesterday/index.htm
These records are all too early for your Thomas Roe, however if you e-mail
Mike Spencer he would probably be able to answer your question. The site
makes a charge if they supply you with copies of documents etc., it is worth
a try.

Thanks Jo,
yes I do know about the wishful thinking site but thanks for passing it on anyway.
I visited Snelston for the first time myself this year and what an amazing unique village it is. I was round the graveyard for myself and none of my rellies are fortunate to have a tombstone so its from parish records and other sources I have to work from.
Thanks for everything
all the best Angela
