There are a few workhouse entries for a Percival Gregg in Liverpool, all born in 1885, in the years 1906, 1907, and 1911.
In 1906, he was single, a mat maker, and his address was 20 Taliesin St, and he had a brother William that lived at 89 Barry St., Kirkdale.
Admitted on 24 Aug 1906 Discharged 01 Sept 1906.
On 19 Jan 1907 he was again admitted. His address given is 38 Pembroke Place, was still single and a mat maker, and the column headed "nearest relative"* lists Mrs. McDonald, at 20 Taliesin Street. He was discharged on the 24th of the same month. However, there is another entry for admission, for the 24th, for a blind Percival, no address, whom was discharged 25 Apr. 1907, so it looks like he either went right back or was discharged and moved to another facility on the 24th. This second admission gives a relative as brother Robert who lives in London, address unknown.
*Note: the column for "nearest relative" had very few entries that showed a relationship, such as sister, mother, etc. Mrs. McDonald may just have been a roominghouse lady that he had resided with, but still worth checking out!
On 28 Jan 1911, he was again admitted. This time he is married , mat maker, and the column headed "where slept last night" the entry was 20 Talieson St.
Discharged 01 Feb 1911.
Two weeks later, he was admitted again. This time, there is more information:
Birth date: 15 Mar 1885
Admission: 16 Feb 1911
Discharge: 28 Mar 1911
Occupation: mat maker
Cause of seeking relief: Dest. and blind (dest. probably = destitute)
Address: 58 Byles St
Relative: Wife, Catherine E. at 58 Byles St.
