Have you looked at
www.workhouses.org.uk

This is a site about workhouses and the like and there are a lot of links from the pages.

On another note I see you have the name Topping in your query, I have a relation with "Topping" as their middle name. They lived, at the time, in the same area as your relative........ Marketgate & Ladybridge St


Good luck with your search

Would you have anything re:West Grimsby St?
Unable to find them on the 1891 Census & only found 3 children.  I'm sure there's more children somewhere. The KERNAGHAN name has several spellings and that could be the problem.

ps my mum was a SPINK

That area of Arbroath has been run-down for a long time and has been redeveloped in part. I will send you a picture later today. Any others if you wish.

I have no information on the names you have. Have you visited the local website. They have a Family Tree forum. You never can tell. The site is here :- www.theshoppie.com

The images as promised.

Looking up to the top of the street. West Port is the one with the shops

many thanks again.  All the Forfarshire lines of my family seem to have come from  Arbroath although the "family legend" was that they came from Dundee.
