Title Entry in Newent workhouse register of admissions and discharges for admission of Richard Barnard, aged 33, admitted on 28 November 1838
Date 1838
Description Religious persuasion: Church of England
Chargeable to: Taynton
Admitted on the authority of: Robt Bruton

This is the first of many admissions and discharges at the Newent Union Workhouse for Richard BARNARD of Taynton. Most imply a birth date of 1805/6 although there are a couple of anomalous ones which imply a birth date of 1786 – I can find no record of the birth of a Richard Barnard at this time. The first group are 1838 to 1844 where he is variously described as a woodman or a vagrant. On his discharge 31/10/1842 it is recorded that he was sent to Littledean Prison. There is a second group in 1857 where he is described as destitute. The third group is 1870 to 1877 where he is described as a labourer. The last discharge is 19/09/1877 when he died. He is usually described as single and able-bodied. Some of the earlier admission authorities are by William BRUTON who was the local Registar and who registered the death of Charles POYNER in November 1839.
