Shropshire / Work House Records and Archives - Phoebe BLODWELL
« on: Friday 06 July 07 23:10 BST (UK)  »
Hi there

Does anyone know where I would find any information on Workhouses in about 1751?  I have a Phebe Blodwell (nee Chettow) who the parish registers state as being of 'ye workhouse' when her son Edward died.

Another son Samuel was born to Phebe in 1752 but he was christened in 1767 as Samuel Chettow but we're not sure if he was born a Blodwell or perhaps Phebe's huband John had already died.  Phebe was burried in 1768 as Phebe Blodwell.  Perhaps Samuel had a run-in with family and cut himself off or maybe he wasn't a child of John Blodwell.

Anyone have any ideas?

Hi there
I'm researching the family of 'Blodwell' who originally come from Shropshire.  I can date my own part of the family tree back to the 1700s but can't find the connection to a Manchester branch - but know there must be one.
If anyone comes across any reference to the name perhaps they could send it through to me.
At the moment I'm trawling through some wills from the 1600s and getting information from them.  I also have a copy of Shropshire quarter sessions coming through which I'm looking forward to.
Many thanks.
