Welsh Jen,
Thankyou for search re William Martin, but I can't find any reference on www.data grid.org. What specific reference did you find please?

Frances,
Thanks for the info. I found that soldiers of world war 1 were cared for at the union workhouse. This makes more sense now because I new that Grandad Martin was wounded and died in the workhouse soon after returning home.
Best regards Georgem.
