Meaning of 'Lgt' under Condition column in st pancras workhouse register
« on: Tuesday 16 April 24 13:59 BST (UK) »
Hi - I'm new to this forum but wondered if anyone knows what the abbreviation 'Lgt' means under the 'Condition' column in the St Pancras Workhouse Register 1910-1912. I have two ancestors who were admitted on two occasions for the day at at time before they were discharged and wondered what their condition was to be taken in and released so quickly?

The Condition column in this register is used mainly to describe marital status (single, married, widowed), rather than health. If your two individuals were children, then Lgt. may stand for Legitimate.

Would that fit the entries that you have? If not, would you like to post the details, so that those who have access can look at the relevant entries in context?
