This is odd because they were actually a very well to do family and in the probate record William Kinch is his son in law. He was married to his daughter Gertrude. I haven't researched this family for several years, so the probate record is new to me. See in Ontario, Ancestry lists the actual death registration with 90% of the time listing the cemetery. I have asked several family members but all they tell me is they are buried in Brighton.
thanks for the info, the workhouse disturbs me so I found this
Brighton General Hospital

Originally a workhouse
By Tim Carder
Built by George Maynard in 1865-7, the buildings now occupied by the Brighton General Hospital were administered by the Board of Guardians for the Parish of Brighton as a workhouse and infirmary until 1 April 1930 when their responsibilities passed to the public assistance committee of the county borough council. (They had been used as a hospital during the First World War, however.) The former Poor Law Institution became known as the Elm Grove Home, and on 1 November 1935 the Brighton Municipal Hospital was established in most of the buildings. (For details of the building's life prior to this time see "Brighton Workhouse at Elm Grove".)
