Mine wasn't. He died in the workhouse and the master was the informant of the death, but he was buried in the churchyard of his home village, alongside his former wife. I wept buckets when the death cert came and I found he'd died in the workhouse, but as he died of 'Chronic diarrhoea', I wondered if he'd actually been taken into the workhouse infirmary. Think it varied, according to whether or not you were a permanent inmate. Jay |
