In the 1891 census George Streat (born circa 1824), is 67 year old general labourer [at Reid & Co.'s brewery - but this information does not appear in the census], married, born in Reading, Berkshire was a visitor in the household of a cooper called George Streat - presumably his brother (RG12 Piece 247 Folio 31 Page 1 Schedule 6)
In the 1901 census he is 77 year old George Streat, married, general labourer born in Reading, Berkshire, an inmate of the St Mary, islington workhouse (RG13 Piece 170 Folio 110 Page 28 Schedule 0)
He died in 1904 at the age of 80 (Registered London, Islington 1904 Q1 volume 1B page 129)
I don't know when he was admitted to the workhouse ... but evidently it was between 1891 and 1901. (Sorry I cannot be any more specific than that: FindMyPast does not have a record of his admission)
If someone wit access to the workhouse records could have a quick look and see if they can find an admission record and - more to the point - an examination transcript I should be exceedingly grateful. I am particularly interested to see what (if anything) he said in his examination about his wife.
