21 days,

Thanks for posting the excerpt from your father's diary. My great-uncle was Leading Seaman (Richard / Dick) Bridge who was on the lifeboat with your father and it is unfathomable what these sailors endured.

Babel-chapel.com now includes a downloadable copy of the burial register from the chapel (original in the West Glamorgan Archive) and an index linking its records to a map of the graveyard and the survey completed by the Glamorgan Family History Society in 1990.

Does the inclusion of an occupation on a death cert from a workhouse suggest that the deceased was not an inmate?

James was born on 14th October 1896 to Honor and Patrick Judge in Ormskirk which makes him my 2nd great-uncle. His birth was registered on 1st December 1896 with Honor as the informant so she did not die during this birth.

Thanks again. Does the date in the death register reflect the date of death or the date when the death was registered? The birth was in the December quarter and death in the March quarter of the following year and I am trying to figure out whether James died during birth, which would fit the story of his mother Honor dying in child birth (in a way). Will know more about James in a few days when his birth cert arrives.

Cause of death on the 1900 Bolton death cert was influenza / pneumonia, and the informant was George Davies, Master of the workhouse at Fishpool, Farnworth.

rosie99,

I will also check out the 1896 birth of James Judge. Not a name I have seen before, but a possibility given the DOBs of Honor's other children.

avm228, great question as to whether there is another Honor Judge and to your point I have been unable to find one having searched for the past couple of years. The easiest answer is that woman who died in the Bolton workhouse is my 2x great grandmother...but I am just not convinced. I can see how oral history from the family could be created to explain a death in child birth when the truth was otherwise, but from all records I have seen I see no reason why she would have died in a workhouse at 34 years of age.

I will follow rosie99's suggestion and see what I can find out from Bolton workhouse records.

Thanks for taking the time to answer my post.
