Workhouse Guardian Minutes Signature
« on: Saturday 15 October 22 03:29 BST (UK) »
Hi all,

I have a problem in clearly transcribing a "seconded by signature" from the minutes taken at a Workhouse Guardian Minutes.

Proposed by Mr. Cunningham
Seconded by Mr. ?

Your thoughts will be greatly appreciated.

Steve

Yes, there is an Alderman DORE (and Mr CUNNINGHAM) mentioned in a couple of newspaper reports in relation to the Dorchester Asylum. eg

Hi All,

Many thanks for your suggestions.

I am going with the popular thought that it is "Mr. Dore".

Special thanks to "maddys52" for the Hampshire/Portsmouth Telegraph reference, I will check the article in the future.
