What was an "inmate" in the 1841 census of Bruton? Martha Young was an “inmate” at Shute Lane, Bruton, in 1841, aged “80” that is born 1759-1763, and James Young, aged “40”, was a labourer at the same address, where there was another labourer and four other “inmates”, not Youngs. I can find no note of whether this address was a workhouse, some sort of hospital, or what it was - nor does even google seem to know. Any suggestions (or better, definite information)?
