West Malling workhouse info for Abigail Crayford/Crayfoot
« on: Tuesday 19 April 16 22:11 BST (UK) »
I don't know what info is available for West Malling workhouse but I am after info on an Abigail Crayford or Crayfoot, who died in West Malling Union House on 9th May 1847.

I have her death certificate and am trying to confirm that she is the Abigail who lived in Whetsted in 1841 and was the widow of Thomas Crayford. The death certificate I have has her as a widow of an Edward Crayford. This may be incorrect and I am leaning to believe that this is indeed a mistake as her age is perfect (86), there is only 1 Kent Abigail Crayford in 1841 and there are none in 1851.

So if anyone does have info from the appropriate workhouse records from the time, this could be very useful to me.

Cheers
