The Lodge Caersws.
« on: Saturday 10 February 24 16:13 GMT (UK) »
Michael Finn 73 was buried in Wrexham in 1943.
His abode in the register is The Lodge Caersws.

I can't find anything about this place only a newspaper article in 1904 that suggests that it might have been a workhouse.  Vagrants are mentioned.

Can anyone help.

You could look for it in 1939 to see what is nearby.

I think it might have been connected to the workhouse. I've found one other person whose address is given as The Lodge when they died a year before Michael. This chap was in the Wrexham Workhouse in 1939

There were a couple of Lodges nearby. Maesmawr Hall Lodge and Bronfelin Lodge.

They are on the same map as the Workhouse: https://maps.nls.uk/view/102187406

It's mentioned in this book, so am I right in thinking it was the workhouse,  later a hospital
