Robert, yes, for her time in the workhouse.

Mary and Margee
Thankyou so much for this, apologies for not getting back to you I am just back on after posting the other night.

Its a bit emotional reading this because its so sad, I never new about this when my Gran was alive and as usual you find these things out too late.

Got the death certificate of Charlotte waiting on John's. Charlotte's cause of death was Fibriod Phthisis, a form of TB,

Mary the records you mention would they be for her time in the workhouse

Thanks again
Robert

Ann is my great gran and she came to Scotland after her mum died in 1886 (thanks to Kath n Mary) to live with her mum's sister Elizabeth, however Thomson (who I understand to be Thomasina) I believe died in a workhouse when the family hit upon hard times (now known to be because of the death of my grt grt grandparents.

Can anyone access census records of 1891 to see where she stayed, Iit is known the family split and there was a tragedy, which you are all helping me uncover.
Thankyou
Robert

Gawd - if I put bdm in caps, I get another silly emoticon - can see we'll have to be careful what we write!

Kath,

My apologies, I've just looked at the scan on FMP and you're correct.
on the scan on free bdm the 3 can't be seen.

Hi MaryMc

The original on Findmypast definitely says age 31.
