Bedwellty Workhouse was situated in Georgetown, Tredegar.  It later was turned into a hospital - St. James and was finally closed in the mid-seventies.

It's ok Mad, I know the feeling, I found the family and Walter from 1871 up to 1901 but I'm afraid that I can only guess at the occupation! Sorry.

The Common Room / Re: Age of child to be baptized in early 1800's?
« on: Wednesday 25 May 05 15:27 BST (UK)  »
Baptism of children in Ireland soon after birth also depended if there was a priest available, especially in country areas. Although most towns and cities would have a church.  Many priests were itinerant, and people would have to wait until one was in their area.  The Penal laws were in force until 1778.
If there was a danger of death the parents could baptise the child, if not then they would await the priest.

I know ancestry say they are complete but I've had difficulty finding things that I've found easily on 1837 online and elsewhere, if you know other people who were with him at the address try searching for them and you may come up lucky, this happened to me on ancestry.

Thanks folks, you're all very kind.  Still can't get the search rootschat to work though. I must be doing something wrong, I'll have to get my OH to look at it!
