Title: Redruth Union Workhouse - PRISK
Post by: dixieau on Monday 18 April 16 00:30 BST (UK)

Hi helpers

I am wondering "IF" there would be further information available anywhere on Jane Prisk a resident of Redruth Union Workhouse in 1848, especially the circumstances of her residing there.

I found this entry in "Bal Maidens Database" which leads me to 'think' there might not be any further information, but thought I would ask.
