Hello Dave,regarding INMATE,my dictionary gives inmate as an occupier of a house.I assume not necessarily the owner of the house. I also have a death certificate of 1850 where the informant gives her address and describes herself as Inmate. Hope this helps you Regards Dave in Inskip On 11/03/06, d.bowater <d.bowater@blueyonder.co.uk> wrote: > > Hi Everyone > > I hope someone may be able to shed some light on an ancestor MARY MALLIN > head of houshold and JOHN MALLIN son who are on the 1851 census living in > Portway ROWLEY REGIS. > Two of the other people listed at this address were JOHN REDFERN and > ELIZABETH BROWN who were listed as INMATES. > Does anyone know what sort of inmate? or what it might mean. > > All the best > Dave > > > ==== ENG-BLACK-COUNTRY Mailing List ==== > The B.C.
