Hi
Thanks for the information. Alice Alfred and Thomas Barnes were in the Gloucester Union Workhouse in 1881.
I am beginning to wonder if Alice was actually born in the workhouse in 1874 or '75 following the death of her father. There are indications that Abigail Barnes, her mother, may have died in the workhouse as present at her death was someone described as 'inmate' I understand that at that time it was not compulsary to register the birth of children born in the workhouse.
Any suggestions as to where I might find records of the workhouse that might show births, deaths etc ?
