Swinford Workhouse
« on: Sunday 18 October 09 14:41 UTC (UK) »
If a birth was in Swinford Workhouse would it mean that the mother was resident there or in 1864 was it also a lying in hospital?  So far I haven't found this information anywhere.  Thanks.  (The notifiers of the birth were described as 'occupiers Swinford)

I'll try putting it another way Smiley  If a birth certificate named mother and father and father's occupation and place of birth as Swinford Workshouse- would the workhouse have accepted the mother in 1864 if the father was around and working?

I know the workhouses accepted entire families - althought they were generally split up.

I suppose it is possible that the birth cert could be stating the father's usual occupation - rather than his current occupational status - i.e. in the workhouse.

Thanks for that Shane - By 1871 they were all in England - and did a great job of bringing up their descendants Smiley
