Dublin / North Union Order
« on: Monday 22 April 19 07:59 BST (UK) »
Hi,
Just some queries the answers to some may seem obvious but for the avoidance of doubt:
My great grandfather died at home in his flat in 1892 and was buried in Glasnevin Cemetery under a 'North Union Order'. I am assuming that this means he was penniless and his burial therefore was paid for by the Workhouse?.
In previous years the same man with some of his children is recorded in the North Dublin Union records as being admitted for only a day or two - what could this have been for: medical treatment? or just lack of food and to receive sustenance for a day or two?.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
