Been researching my family roots in the archives up in London again. I recently discovered that my Great Great Grandfather spent some time in the Islington Workhouse, whilst his wife and family stayed at home. Not sure why this was, although I did start to look through some of the ledgers today, but I still need to find out when he was admitted there, probably in the 1860’s.

Here is a sample page from the ledger for 1861, recording the death of a deserted infant.
