Riverside House Merthyr in 1901
« on: Monday 13 June 16 15:20 BST (UK) »
Riverside House is described as a "common lodging house". It. Is home to a great many families. What is the difference between this and a workhouse?
Thomas, Davies, Jones, Walters, Daniel in Carmarthenshire and Ceredigion. That should narrow it down a bit!
Vincent: Fressingfield, Suffolk, Stockton & Sunderland.
Murtha/Murtaugh: Dundalk & Sunderland
Ingram: Cairnie by Huntly, Scotland then Abergavenny, Monmouthshire.
Bardouleau: London - in memory of my stepmother Annie Rose née Bardouleau who put up with a lot from me.

A Bed and Breakfast possibly?   ;D
But not a Workhouse, a house where someone took in lodgers?
