House of Correction

Post by Frodo »

I am trying to make sense of Sarah Jemima Taylor's relationships and family and have been unable to confirm the dates of death for either Sarah or her two husbands. In the process Ancestry has brought up an 1841 Census entry for William Johnson which has him in the House of Correction at Claines. Does anyone have any information or photos of the institutions?

It does seem a likely scenario as in his Will Joseph Taylor put in very special instructions about how Sarah could only have her inheritance a bit at a time and could not use any of it to pay William's debts.
