Nice one fortinian thanks mate.

I shall have a read through that. A lot of my ancestors where in the workhouse, i have found some very sad stories about them in the records office.

One nice one is about two of the lads from my OWENS side. aged 12 and 9 the brothers where admitted to Brownlow hill workhouse, i was saddened to read their names in the admittance book, but laughed when it stated that they ran away the next day. They both turn up on later census returns with families, so i wise decision by them.
