Eliza Gibbons Dursley Workhouse 1841
Posted: Wed Feb 19, 2014 2:11 am
Hi
I am in Canada and my ancestor Eliza Gibbons, who later married William Mann, was born in Dursley about 1830. There is a record in the 1841 census for the Dursley Union Workhouse for an Eliza Gibbons aged 9 years that I believe is her. If anyone has any information about Eliza, the Gibbons family in Dursley or the Dursley Union Workhouse that may help me in my research of Eliza Gibbons I would greatly appreciate it.
Eliza appears to be orphaned or otherwise alone (per the 1841 census listing) as there are no other Gibbons in the workhouse at that time. I had seen a post elsewhere about another family of 3 children alone in the workhouse where the parent was in jail and this may have been the case for Eliza as well. Our family did not know anything about this branch other than Eliza's son William George Mann who emigrated to Canada in the late 1870's.
Thank you!
