Hi,

I wondered what info would be held about the workhouse around the 1840's.
I have found a Thomas MOSS age 15yrs and a Matilda MOSS age 12 on the 1841 census for the Tewkesbury workhouse.
Any info would be great.

Many thanks
Sally :-)

Googling 'workhouses' will tell you their function etc.................

Hi Reggie,
I did wonder if any records were maybe held at Records Office.
I was looking for any info they hold on the Moss children, maybe when they went in, why? when they left, that sort of thing.
