Berkshire / Re: Ralphs at Wantage Workhouse
« on: Monday 18 April 16 09:49 BST (UK) »
Hello
Many thanks for your responses - much appreciated.
I dont know that they are brothers - its just a theory I am trying to work on. My GGF full name was William Francis Ralph born 1857/1858 in Berkshire. The options in the records are few.
The 1871 census shows a Fracnis Ralph aged 14 and William Ralph aged 19 both from Wantage, Berkshire. In 1881 Francis is in Portsea in the military and then after that he does not appear in any census. My GGF moved to India in approx 1886 so this all fits in. The only was to know for sure of course is to get a birth certificate but I was hoping if I could get the Workhouse records that this might help.
