Looking on the 1871 census I have found OH's 2x grandfather aged 70 and a widower living in a Almshouse. Under the profession bit, it says 'Receipiant of ..... ...... (can't read that bit) Charity. He is living in this house on his own. Most of the people living in these houses are either widows or widowers but not all some are married couples.
Does anyone know anything about Almshouses and how one would qualifiy to live there?
