Thanks again  to you both! Poor Louisa. I wonder what happened that forced her into the workhouse. Would there be records I wonder? Daniel seems to have ended up in the Workhouse too - think I've got him on the 1881 at the Warwick Union Workhouse, on the 1891 he's still in the Workhouse,on the 1861 he's with his son but say's he's a Widow, on the 1871 he's a lodger in Bearley again a Widow!

You can get the records of the poorhouse, as I have got copies for my 4xgrgrandmother from the poor house in York, plus I got records of other family members.  They are very interesting to read.  I would contact the local records office.

Cheers
