My grt grt grandmother's sister Maria/Mary Cutting was discharged from Buxton workhouse by order of 'South Castle' 1846, and I was wondering if anyone knows what this means?
Thanks Phoenix, Could be I have many people with the first name Last! I was wondering if it had anything to do with Blickling Hall. in 1851 she is working for a Spanish lady and family Class: HO107; Piece: 1810; Folio: 395; Page: 12 Their names are Hopkin and Page. She was about 11 when discharged maybe to go into service?
There is nobody called South Castle on family search or freebmd, though, and ancestry doesn't list him on any census. Are you sure it says "South" and not, say, "Supt." or anything like that?

Blow me, I was having a google for Buxton Workhouse to see if a superintendents name came up and I found the following site of the occupants of the workhouse and oh dear, two Horsteads are in there
