Re: Totnes workhouse Caroline Williams
If the register still exists, it will show quite a lot. I was lucky, the one for Birkenhead is available, and the people photocopied all the entries which included my great grandmother, the lady said it was very sad reading it all!! But great grandma survived and lived until 1921, she had a hard life, parents died when she was a teenager, relatives did not appear to take the children in, she went to work in a pin factory in Birmingham, then came back to Birkenhead, got pregnant and the rest is history. Looked after by her sons when they grew up.
