Yes that is probably the reason Ben. It is a lesson to us all though not to expect relatives to be where they were in the previous census, and not to be surprised when they turn up in another county. One branch of my lot were all in Somerset. The nest thing I know two families are in Portsmouth Hants. Father and family went first, then his son and family. then to complicate matters one of the daughters married somebody from back in Somerset several years after the move. |

Shelli if you can track down the workhouse records they will tell you when RWD was admitted to the workhouse, or if he was born there and if so why Phyllis was admitted and why and when they left |

Oh yes, I did post a query about this the other day. In december 1878, my Roberts ancestors moved from Walworth London to Holborn. They had lost their money on a beer house. They applied for relief as they were destitute according to the poor law document. It says "Whether Husband, Wife of Children sen tto workhouse or asylum" and it says "Yes". |

Quick update before WDYTYA..... Union workhouse Sundridge, did have a lying in ward, so maybe Phyllis did enter just to give birth??? |

i think you will have to go in person. I doubt if they will be on line. The register will be in date order and should have admission and discharge on the same page. you never know it may give a clue as to where she went next. |
