Help please - Haverfordwest

[AnnD]

My great grandfather, Henry Mansell and family are living at 2. Priory Hill, Haverfordwest on the 1911 census

Henry Mansell died 27th May 1927 at Priory Mount, Haverfordwest
On Death Certificate, the Informant is:- A. Hall, Occupier, Priory Mount, Haverfordwest
Would Priory Mount have been the workhouse in 1927 or hospital?
Is 2. Priory Hill in 1911 a residential house or part of the workhouse?

I am visiting Haverfordwest in a couple of weeks and sorry to learn that the History Office will be closed at this time but I would love to look round where some of my ancestors lived.

If Henry did indeed die in the workhouse where is he likely to have been buried, I cannot find an entry at the City Road Cemetery?

Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks,
Ann

Hi,

Yes I have read that and Priory House became a hospital in 1930 so I assume that my great grandfather was in the workhouse when he died in 1927 and the A. Hall mentioned was the manager of this. Any ideas where people who died in the workhouse would have been buried? In a communal paupers grave I guess.

On 1911 census the family were living at 2 Priory Hill would this have been part of the workhouse, or not? And does anyone know if Priory Hill still exists.

Thanks,
Ann

Hi
You mentioned  on the 1911 census 2 Priory Hill just down the road from the
workhouse is Priory Mill it is possible that it was known as Priory Hill as it has a
very steep hill going to them the cottages are still  standing and known as 1 and 2
Priory Cottages  alongside the cottages was a Mill maybe the cottages was for Mill workers.
The building is still standing and was used as a pop factory a new one has been built.
As for your burial site the nearest cemetery is St Thomas's Church in the last couple of months
the church has closed down but you can still enter the cemetery. I hope that this will give you
a bit more info. Good luck in search.  Manordeg
