Hello All, I have found some one in my family, discharged from a workhouse to GNC. Any idea what this means? Cheers!…….Judy. Perth W.Australia
Judy, Such abbreviations normally refer to another institution (e.g. branch workhouse, school, infirmary) managed by, or regularly used by, the same poor law union -- one that was so familiar that it didn't need spelling out. If you'd like to post the name/place/date, and where you found the reference, it might be easier to help you.
