Yes: the admission record notes his estranged wife (in Bedford) and a son in New Barnet. Trying to check the latter now although there has been no other record that the subject was living with him.

Shame. I wondered if the NoK might have been at the same address, and that he might have been more readable on that record. Oh well, worth a try.

If someone died as a patient in a workhouse hospital, I have found that it was normal practice to include their usual place of residence as part of their identification. This distinguishes them from a workhouse inmate who would normally be homeless. So I would say the entry is for his address "of 6 Old Crompton Street ... "

Regards,
Colin
