Inmate? Glasgow St Enochs

[amycargill]

I have an ancestor, Ann Aitken Oswald (b abt 1766) who is listed on the 1841 census with an occupation of "P Inmate Sewer" in the Civil Parish of Glasgow St Enochs.  Can anyone tell me what she may have been an inmate of?

Thank you,
Amy

What address is she at - that should help.  I can't find the entry you refer to

Entry is Ann THOMSON??  B 1766 occ p inmate WINDER

It seems to be the Town hospital looking at the census ref   ED Town hospital page 12 Line 1190

CaroleW,

Thank you. I do see an Ann Thompson in the list as well.  I wondered if it was a hospital or an asylum.

Thanks,
Amy

Your opening post says she is Ann Aitken Oswald but you now say she is Agnes Oswald??  That’s why we couldn’t find her

She’s in the same place as Ann Thomson.  If you look at the ED for Agnes it’s also Town hospital but  page 14 line 510

Found this link to the town hospital which might be helpful http://www.workhouses.org.uk/Glasgow/ looks like was down at clyde Street near to where St Enoch centre is now

I'm sorry. Ann was a typo. should be Agnes.  Thank you so much for the Workhouse information. I'm sure that this is probably the place!

Unfortunately, what I can see on Ancestry does not show the image or the ED.  I wish I could see the image but when I am working on a line that is not direct I don't like to spend too many credits on Scotland's People!

Thanks!
