poohbear 1,360 Posted July 4, 2010 Report Share Posted July 4, 2010 Oh dear..Your ancestor was in the workhouse that one of my distant relatives ran. I hope our 'Absalom' didn't give them a hard time.. At least they didn't finish up in Australia... Absalom is a Jewish name....mixed blood and C of E for a long time now though.
