Hi doghouse and welcome to rootschat. ;D
Don't know where the records are for that workhouse, but apoplexy is unconsciousness or incapacity resulting f4rom a cerebral haemorage or stroke.
Looks as if he had a stroke, poor chap.

Although Essex Record Office hold information regarding the minutes of the Guardians they do not have anything relating to individuals such as entry and discharge. I have at least two close relatives whom died there within living memory, one of whom my mother was visiting with her mother. She was taken poorly during the visit and they were told she had died while they waited in 1947, however, the death certificate gives place of death as 'The Retreat'. I have tried without success to find an explanation but the ERO tell me they have been asked this questions on several occasions.
