Hey thanks for that.

Are you able to read the lower portion of the document? It's for the same person.

Brilliant and thank you so much!

I can't find her husband anywhere. If he died in 1841 there is no burial record for him.

Also, my ancestor made it into a government list of inmates who had resided 5 or more years in a workhouse.
