SWINDELL Belper 1841 |
|
You may remember the case of Joseph Swindell whose wife died after
the Overseers decided to relief at their discretion, and her fathers desire
to have a better coffin and pay the difference. Well the story moved on with
the girls being ill, one in particular;
Joseph SWINDELL 42 Wid five children Cannot get work and that three children
are ill. M.O reports one has typhus.
Ordered twelve pounds of bread and 2/- weekly and to report in a fortnight
Joseph SWINDELL 42 the child has now recovered. Children now in care of
grandfather ,father having deserted them. Ask for relief to be continued.
Refused. To come to Workhouse.
What would this mean for these five girls?
On arrival they would be placed in a Probationary Ward and shall there
remain until examined by the Medical Officer of the Workhouse.
If the Medical Officer pronounces the pauper to be free from disease ,the
pauper shall be placed in that part of the Workhouse assigned to the class
to which he or she may belong, and shall thereafter be treated according to
the regulations hereinafter contained
Mary Ann 12, Elizabeth 9 and seven year old Sarah were in Class 6, Hannah 4
and her younger sister Ellen just two ,were in Class 7.
Before removal from the Probationary Ward the pauper shall be thoroughly
cleansed ,and shall be clothed in Workhouse dress, and the clothes which he
or she wore upon admission shall be purified ,and deposited in a place to
be appropriated for that purpose, to be restored to the pauper on leaving
the Workhouse or else to be used by the pauper as the Board of Guardians
shall direct.
To each class shall be assigned by the Board of Guardians that apartment
or separate building which may be best fitted for the reception of such
class, and in which they shall respectively remain without communication
with any other class, unless as in hereinafter provided.
(Which basically meant if we have room we may think about putting you
together,)
The three oldest girls could also be used as assistants to nurses in any of
the sick wards, or in the care of infants or as assistants in household work.
(So the opportunity is there for they younger two to be cared for by their
older sisters.)
Discipline. Half an hour after the bell for rising has been rung the girls
the three older ones that is, would have to stand in their ward while they
answered their name in a roll call, and to be inspected by the matron.
The boys and girls shall have for three of the working hours at least every
day be respectively instructed in reading, writing and the principles of
the Christian religion and such other instructions shall be imparted to
them as are calculated to train them to habits of usefulness ,industry and
virtue.
The diet of the paupers shall be so regulated as in no wise to exceed in
quantity and quality of food ,the ordinary diet of the able bodied labourer
living within the same district.
(Please Sir,I want some more)
No person shall be allowed to visit any pauper in the Workhouse ,except by
permission of the master, and providing that the interview take place in
the presence of the master or matron.
Divine service shall be performed every Sunday at which all paupers will
attend except the sick and young children, and also those paupers who object
to attend on account of their professing religious principles differing from
those of the Church of England
Dring the time of their meals silence, order and decorum shall be maintained.
Prayers said on rising, before and after meals and the master checked that
all males were in bed on the Wards by nine o'clock at night !
These were the regulations from Bakewell Workhouse, I have no doubt they were
standard for all others. There were other regulations and duties by various
officers and such like, but I think we get the picture.
What happened to the girls, someone is related to them, maybe they can tell
us what became of them. I wonder did they defy the order to go to the
Workhouse ! Wouldn't you.

in Melbourne a joiner by trade and a freeholder, now receiving 3/- per week,
to receive 12lb of bread per week and report.(Being a freeholder possibly
meant her father had some means to look after his daughter, hence I suspect
the report.)(Full entry).

married and two children and carries coal for a living. Ann married and
poor. Sarah 12, a servant for her victuals, Francis 10, earns 6d per week,

Vagrant Wanderers |
|
Hi list,
No its not a new football team, but does anyone recall a list of sorts
dedicated to wanderers and vagrants. The reason I ask is that during the
listing of Before the Board folks a fair number of them have travelled from
where they were living to the Board they need to obtain relief from,
particularly if the Board where they lived decided not to give them anything
as is the case in one previously listed. Which means a man from Manchester
has spent a couple of nights or more on the road before getting to his
destination. Could some of those families in various census having just a
wife but no husband listed, actually have husbands on the road seeking relief
for their families. It has to be the case in many of them, others have just
upped sticks and gone and maybe they would be harder to find, but a man
missing from the census might be tracked down if for instance you know where
he either came from or where he was heading. Got it, clear as mud Michael!
If you have a missing hubby, and the family were living in say Manchester
and he had to travel to Baslow could it be if you followed the main routes
village by village on the census you may just pick them up. Yes were talking
long shots I know but if every one recorded their vagrants etc onto such a
list could it be you may find him there. Just a thought.Us men can find owt
if we want to cant we lads!

The Governer also reported that he had sold bones for 10/6 and swill

had died in the Workhouse. Ordered that the whole amount be paid to the
Treasurer and debited to his account and Establishment credited therewith
Staveley --- loan to James BARLOW
Heath --- removal of Christopher SMITH and family from Alfreton to Heath.
Disputed.
