if somebody lived in Islington up till at least 1882 could they be in Newington Workhouse in Southwark in 1891, or would it be considered out of her area.
Thanks
That's way out of area val. What eveidence do you have to suggest this person is yours? Did this person die in the workhouse? Deaths record home address.

I have looked and could not find a person with this name and age in 1881
There is a record of a William Brown Printer found guilty of manslaughter in 1884
which may explain if its him why there isn't a William Brown printer in 1891 as maybe he had to change occupation? or maybe Ann left him and she isn't really a widow in 1891
So many maybes would appreciate any feedback
Thanks Bertie I did wonder if it was him maybe she left and moved away, have found a likely death for him in 1890 which would make her a widow in 1891.
I forgot to add - but perhaps you know this already - the Clerkenwell area of Islington is just outside and adjacent to the northern boundary of the City of London and it is an easy [almost straight!] walk from there over Blackfriars Bridge to Newington, south of the river A little over 2 miles depending on where she lived.
Thanks Bertie I am almost positive he is that printer, so maybe she left him, I just found a couple of trees with a William Brown Father Bricklayer, so have contacted them maybe they can help.
