Title: 1901 look up pls --- Blessed-- Completed with thanks.
Post by: exessexgirl on Wednesday 30 January 08 14:11 GMT (UK)

John Thomas Blessed b 1875 Spalding Lincolnshire. At the time of the 1881 and 1891 census he is shown as an inmate at Work House Pinchbeck Road Spalding. His age in 1891 is 17 yrs.

I am assuming he is still in Lincolnshire at the time of the 1901 census. Any help very much appreciated.

Hi GeoffE

Many thanks for your reply to my query. Poor John didn't have much of a life. Shown in the workhouse on both the 1881 - 91 census's.

Thank you again  :) Lyn
