Jeff, Thank you for that, it is a great site, I have had that in my favourites folder for some time. I have had a good look through that site and the article on the Windsor Workhouse in particular, it was there I discovered the Berkshire Record Office did not have all the death years I wanted. The relatives list sounds interesting but a tad difficult to access from out her in Australia.{;-) My thanks again, I do appreciate all your help.

Berks RO seems to have some other documents which might be useful, such as a relatives list. Follow 'Workhouse locations' then 'English Poor Law Unions' then 'Berkshire'.
