  • The Workhouse

    I have found on the admissions to the workhouse 4 entries of my grandfather being admitted all in 1914 when he is 7 years old, on each admission its his grandfathers name bringing him in.
    I have found a couple of discharge entries that just say to care of mother so she is taking him out, one of these is on the same day as admission?

    Is this usual?

    Maybe being admitted as a hospital patient? Perhaps he had an accident that needed attention and his grandfather took him in. Mother collected him later? Or perhaps the poor child was being passed from pillar to post in a care argument?

      Thats what I was worried about Anne, I know he eventually went to an orphanage of some kind and wasn't taken out until much later by his aunt so think this was the start of the troubles!
