Hi Carole Not sure where you find them but I think the Yate Workhouse (Spike) registers still exist The building certainly does, I can just about see it through the trees from here, If a death occured at the workhouse the body was sent to the source Parish for burial at the Parish expense presumably if not claimed by the family, there are notes in Hawkesbury burial register to this effect. regards Robert Visit my web pages at http://www.hawkesburyhistory.co.uk ----- Original Message ----- From: "anthony sharp" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, January 16, 2004 7:23 AM Subject: [HWK] Mary Ann TOGHILL and children > Hello Everyone, > > I have just received the following information from my cousin in Australia. > It adds to our previous exchanges about the WATTS - TOGHILL families. > > "Mary Ann TOGHILLl and children Rosa and Walter. > I have birth certificates for: > > (a)Rose Amelia TOGHILLl, born 21/10/1860 Starveall, Hawkesbury, no father, > mother Mary Ann TOGHILL address Starveall Hawkesbury - birth registered by > Mary Ann.
