I guess I'm asking about the kind of records that Val is referring to. What more might exist for Pru & Elizabeth?
Familysearch's wiki has this about Poor Law Records:
Poor Law Union Records (1834-1948)
Records of the Union Workhouse and Union Board of Guardians are often extensive. While they vary by Union, they typically include[3]:
Workhouse Records
Admission and Discharge Books or Registers
Creed Registers
Registers of Births
Registers of Baptisms
Registers of Deaths, and
records of:
Workhouse Infirmaries
Pauper Lunatic Asylums
Out Relief
Poor Law Schools
Poor Law School Districts
Children in the Workhouse
Boarding out Children, and
Staff
Those records on Ancestry seem to be the Admission/Discharge Books - but would there be more?? How would you know which records to go looking thru?
