	Thanks for your answers. This entry was on 1881 census. Could you have a look on your index for me for: Ann Caroline Delany. She was down as 80 on the 1881 census. Thanks very much Diane

	Hi, I found this reference using autosearch which may help: LICENSED VICTUALLERS' ASYLUM (administered almshouses on Old Kent Road, Camberwell). Became the Licensed Victuallers' Benevolent Institution in 1921. There were other references listed - looks like these asylums existed in several places, presumably funded by subscription to provide housing for retired victuallers, or their dependents? Regards Judith
