jonw65, Thank you for that information, 3 Glenister Road was where my Dad was classed as a border in the 1901 census, another brick in the wall.
I will try and research why children were placed in workhouses without their parents, I have searched marriage records to see if I can get any information on my grandfather. I did look at the 1891 census for the address in Conley Street and there was another Thompson as the householder, but no Joseph Thompson. I can't find any death record of him, I even searched prison records on the census, but I suppose he would not have been incarcerated in one close by, could have been anywhere.
Thanks again, I feel even more sorry for my Dad.
