My ggGrandfather died in the Combination Poor House Inveresk in 1869. Were was this? What exactly was it? And are there any records available?

Thanks

Hi Aberdein

I had a quick look on the internet and found this site, which you might be interested in:

http://www.ancestor.abel.co.uk/Inveresk.html#poo

It tells you where the poor house records are kept - and there's a whole lot more about Inveresk itself!

Kind regards, Arranroots  ;)

(you might have to use the site search for Inveresk - it doesn't seem to take you right to the page any more!)
