Title: House of Industry 1841 Coventry
Post by: elsiegee1 on Saturday 06 September 08 21:54 BST (UK)

In the 1841 census for Coventry, I found a John Everitt (age 90!!) at the 'House of Industry'. Was this a workhouse? Where was it? :

Piece: HO107/1152/14 Place: Coventry -Warwickshire Enumeration District: 03
Civil Parish: Cvntry, St John& Mic Ecclesiastical Parish: -
Folio: 36 Page: 1
Address: House Of Industry, Coventry

Thanks :)
