No....at the time I didn't know he was a Pauper!
Sorry, I should have said.  On the various bits I have gathered, they are paupers and labourers.  I am new at this.  I assumed, maybe wrongly, that the lived at the workhouse.

No problem!

We had to go looking at records to see what was on them!

You didn't live at the workhouse, existed would be closer to the mark, you wouldn't be allowed to live as a family at the workhouse, they did all they could be make them as uncomfortable as possible because you were costing the Union money by being there.

Yes, I understand.  They obviously spent some time together as did many others I noticed - who were there and had children.  I don't understand why he was then able to move to Drogheda, or they moved him while his wife was pregnant and he died just before his wife gave birth.  What do you think? and do you think it's just errors re his age and his marital status?

Cheers

It may not be his death cert. You shouldn't assume he has one.
