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.

My ancestor James Melrose  was a Private serving in the (599) 2nd Battalion, The Black Watch(Royal Highlanders.  He was killed  in action on the 9th May 1915 at the Battle of Aubers Ridge and his name is recorded on Le Touret Memorial.

Hi Mirrin
I have George and his father Thomas Melrose serving as Royal Engineers; Royal Sappers & Miners in the early 1800's. I am interested in seeing if we connect. See George's history here http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Melrose-14
