Hope it's enlightening.

BTW if they were sent to the poorhouse, and then to Ireland, it wasn't a case of the application being refused. The parochial board may have declined to offer them relief in the form of cash, but they must have offered relief in the form of the poorhouse. If the application had been refused altogether, they would not have been admitted to the poorhouse.
Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.
