I wonder if anyone could please help in deciphering a 1827 Camberwell workhouse entry for John Andrew Carroll. My g g grandfather
I can decipher some of it and any help is appreciated.
I know it says
Carroll John Andres and Mary 35/28 Mary 2 yrs and William 2 yrs 4 mos
Harness maker
married at Camberwell Church 6 Aug 1820
Never earned more than 4----------------and then I am afraid I come to a dead end.
Thank you
