    1. Wem Workhouse Lookup please

    3. Hello List, Could SKS lookup the Staff of this workhouse in the 1851. I have a note indicating that staff included a Mr. & Mrs. ROWLEY. My ggF Andrew ROWLEY is the Workhouse Master in 1882 at the age of 62, but I have him in 1851 as a teacher at the Chetwyn School. So, I'd like to have details on the ROWLEYs at Wem Workhouse in 1851. TIA Mike M. Elliot-Jones

If 1851 (HO107/1995/31/1) the entries for the Wem Union Workshouse are difficult to make out but they are definitely _not_ Rowley. Ancestry has them transcribed as "William Nail Kendell, born about 1793 in County Westmeath, Ireland" (That is genuinely County Westmeath and not the usual mix up between Westmeath and Wem :-) ) and his wife "Mary Rendlinn, born about 1795 in Caernarvonshire, Wales" Ian
