Can anyone help
I'm a bit lost |banghead|
So I'm tracing my great great grandfather John Harris. He was born in Dilwyn around 1834. While tracing him on the 1841 census I think I've found him aged 8 living with a load of people he isn't related too, also the address is listed as: Dilwyn, Dilwyn, Church Dilwyn? I've looked at so many church discriptions but none have mentioned about it substituting as an Orphanage?...
Does anyone know if there was an Orphanage or Workhouse in Dilwyn during the 1840's?
Or does anyone have any opinion as to why he isn't living with his parents?
Thanks in advance
