My gt.grandfather died in Harold Wood Hospital in 1936 aged 84. According to my mother, he had gambled away his inheritance and spent the late part of his life in 'the workhouse' as my grandmother couldn't afford to take him in to her home. I have found Harold Wood Hospital described as a convalescent home before WWII. The primary cause of his death was bronchopneumonia (also senile decay)- could he have been sent to Harold Wood from a local workhouse and, if so, which was the local workhouse ? On his death certificate, his address is given as that of my mother/grandmother, but I am pretty certain he never actually lived there. Thank you
