PLEASE ARCHIVE - Sarah Wilton Hughes born abt 1746

Post by mallosa »

http://www.workhouses.org.uk/Dudley/#Pre-1834

In 1859 a 113 year old woman named Sarah Wilton Hughes died at the workhouse after a short period of residence there. During this time, although completely blind, she was said to have knitted stockings for all the other inmates who numbered nearly 200


Can we find anything more, perhaps on the 1851 Census?

I've been thinking about this :think:

How did she manage to knit stockings for all the other inmates who numbered nearly 200 If she was only in for 'a short period of time' ?

...and being totally blind, at that! What's a short period of time?
