Hello to all of our Members,

Another year has passed by, and so we think about what has been

achieved in that time.

I hope all the members are happy with the work put in by the Commit-

tee and volunteers over the past twelve months. The Society is in a bet-

ter position now thanks to all those people. There are still things to be

done and they will be completed, but it takes time.

We received grants which enabled us to purchase laptops, furniture and

computer accessories for our centre. Fundraising with sausage sizzles

was our main source of income; there was also money raised with a

market stall held at Woodridge, book sales at local Libraries and

Bendigo Bank has sold some of our books on our behalf. The bank bal-

ance has increased significantly over the past twelve months and spend-

ing money wisely we are able to take six months off from the sausage

sizzles if people would like a break.

As President, I would like to say a very big thank you to the outgoing

Committee for the past twelve months, and welcome to the incoming

Committee, may you continue to advance.

To all Volunteers, thanks for your dedication - it is much appreciated.

Thank you for having me as president for the past year.

My best wishes to all,

John Burrows, President

Guest Speakers

.

One of the many branches of Womens

Services during World War 2 was

the Women's National Emergency

Legion (WNEL) which was based in

Brisbane.

June: Helen Smith Our members enjoyed Helen's

presentation “Gallipoli Health from the Trenches WW1

1914-1918.” Helen gave a very vivid talk about the

treatment and survival of our soldiers and the enemy

soldiers. Helen explained the long process of carrying

the wounded by donkey and stretchers to the tenders

and then rowing over sometimes very rough water to the

Hospital ship, and then being evacuated to Lemnos, Al-

exandria or England. Thank you Helen for your passion-

ate presentation.

May Stephanie Ryan, from State Library of

Queensland came to talk to us about World War

one records, and “State Library Special Indexes”

and showed us how to use them to get more de-

tailed information from the SLQ records. As al-

ways her talk was followed by our “famous”

morning tea, which everyone enjoys.

In July Peter Dunn came to see us again. Peter is

an avid researcher of WW11 Australian Military

Records. His presentation to us this time was

“Women @War in Brisbane during WW11,” Pe-

ter’s presentation went for an hour with time for

questions after the presentation. Peter is always

welcome back at our society.

Librarian’s Report

The work in the Library continues to be busy. We are cataloguing new resources and

making the shelves of the Library tidier. A Library Catalogue “Categories List” has

been placed on the end of the middle shelf to help you find various topics in the Library.

Small books and pamphlets are now in magazine holders at the end of the shelves.

Large folders and oversize books are on the bottom shelves.

Don’t forget, if you remove a book from the shelves, to place a bookmark/marker in the

spot so that you put it back in the same place. Any Journals we receive electronically

will no longer be printed off. They will be stored on Computer 4 and are available for

anyone to read. Please see the Librarian on duty to help you access them.

WWI Display Project

Thank you to everyone who contributed to our WWI display. We wrote about our fam-

ily members who were involved in WWI rather than on the local area. We appreciate

the time you spent to put the sheets together.

Father’s Day Display

Our new display will start at the beginning of September. We are asking you to send an

A4 size sheet with a story and pictures of your father, grandfather or great-grandfather.

You might be able to tell us something unusual or special that happened to him, e.g. met

the queen, designed a bridge, etc, etc. Please email the sheets by 17th August.

Melville Douglas Lomman

1st July, 1919 to 22nd November, 1970

Melville (Melve) was the third son and fourth child of six. His par-

ents were Frank and Hertha Caroline Dorothea (nee Axer) Lomman

and he was born on 1st July, 1919 in Holmsdale SA.

He worked as a wood machinist for Arthur Davey & Son. He lost

the tip of his finger at work and he received compensation for it.

Melve joined the RAAF during WWII. While in Sydney his plane

saw and attacked a Japanese submarine off the coast of Sydney.

They saw an oil slick after the attack. Later he went by train and

convoy to the Northern Territory and was stationed at Melville Bay

in Arnhem Land. He flew in missions to the Philippines in Cata-

lina aircraft. He reached the rank of Warrant Officer.

9

After the War Melve married Valma Dolsie Faulkner and they had

five children. He and his brother Cecil set up a woodturning busi-

ness making clocks, bookends, etc from mulga wood. The picture

shows Melve (left) and his brother in the machine shop. They were

commissioned by the WA government to make a set of bookends

as a gift for Princess Elizabeth on her engagement to Prince Philip.

Eventually they closed the business and went their separate ways

and took to the land.

Melve and Val had an apple orchard at Ironbank, SA (see picture

below). One year when the Queen visited Adelaide on the Royal

Yacht Britannia a box of our apples were especially packed to go

aboard.

As a committed Seventh-day Adventist and Christian he gave many

years of leadership to the church and community.

He died of an aneurysm while working in the orchard at the age of

51. He had high cholesterol which has been shared with his chil-

dren and grandchildren.

My dad was very practical and could do anything from mending

machinery to helping mum with fitting clothes that she sewed.

Soldiers from Navigators Honoured

Where is Navigators you might ask? Nowadays it is a picturesque farming

area just a few miles from Ballarat in Victoria.

In the early days it was sometimes known as ‘Little Ireland,’ as it was settled by

Irish immigrants. It reminded them of their homeland. Some of these Irish pio-

neers were at the gold diggings at Ballarat during the time of the Eureka Stock-

ade in 1854. One such family was the Donnelly family who were from John-

swell, a small village in Kilkenny. My grandfather Edmund Donnelly was one of

fifteen men from the Navigators district to enlist for service in the first world

war.

Three years ago a group of community minded people from the Navigators area

formed the Navigators History Group. Most of the members are descendants of

early pioneers of the area. For their first project they wanted to do something to

honour their local WW1 servicemen. So they worked together tirelessly, their

efforts culminating in a special unveiling ceremony held on April 19th this year.

It was a bitterly cold day, but that didn’t stop many people coming together to

pay their respects and honour these soldiers. Several local dignitaries spoke of

their sacrifices, also others representing their families. It was a very moving

service.

Afterwards, in the nearby community hall, (which used to be the local Catholic

church; many of the people there had been married in it) there were refresh-

ments for all, and displays of the local history to view. The hall was overflow-

ing; and with the happy sound of people meeting and greeting one another and

sharing their family stories - it was a real ‘reunion!’

The spirits of those soldiers were with us,

I think they would have approved.

A Humourous “Donnelly” Story

This little anecdote written down by a Navigators resident., Dick Butler

“Sprung” Donnelly, who lived in Donnelly’s Lane, which runs past Naviga-

tors Community Centre to Yankee Flat Road, would often venture over to

the pub at Warrenheip.

He would have to walk or ride past Dick Vincent’s property (Now John and

Brenda Pearce.)

Dick’s jersey bull would follow everybody who rode or walked past, bel-

lowing and acting very aggressively.

“Sprung” decided enough was enough! On leaving the pub to walk back to

Donnelly’s Lane, he decided to have a showdown with this monster. He

asked the barman for two 4 gallon tins. He set out for Vincent’s bull.

The barman decided to follow him - he sensed danger!

He found “Sprung” in the bull paddock almost face to face with this big

monster.

As the bull came closer, “Sprung” grabbed both tins and banged them to-

gether with a deafening noise.

The aggressive bull turned tail with Sprung chasing him around the pad-

dock.

The next day Sprung decided to tell Mr Vincent the events of the day be-

fore; “That bull hasn’t got one ounce of Irish blood in him — first sign of a

fight and he took off.!”

ROY BELL AERIAL PHOTOGRAPHER, MECHANIC

WW1 FRANCE Raoul Sunday Bell, known as Roy Bell was born on 19 February 1882. The family of 11 lived on isolated, otherwise uninhabited Sunday Island, now known as Raoul Island, part of the Kermadec Islands that lie 600 miles to the northeast off the north of New Zealand. Each child had to fish, garden and shoot goats to keep food on the table. The Bells occu-pied the island for a total of 36 years. He went to live on Norfolk Island in 1910, where he became the Island’s photographer, grew vegetables and continued his research into the flora and fauna there and on Lord Howe Island, being an expert in this field, collecting specimens for museums in England, Australia and New Zealand. Roy went from Norfolk Island, along with a group of Islanders, to Casula NSW, to join up for WW1. His papers state he was 32 years 9 months old and his occupation was taxidermist. He enlisted in the Australian Imperial Force, 12 November 1915. Num-ber 4663, posted to the 12th reinforcements, 19th battalion with the rank of private. He embarked for the Middle East on His Majesty’s Australian Troopship A40 CERAMIC on 14th April 1916.

15

After landing in Egypt, he again embarked at Alexandria on 29th May 1916 and disembarked at Plymouth, England on the 7th June 1916 where he went into training with the newly formed Australian Air Corps- the beginning of the Australian Air force, as a mechanic. Roy marched out of the Flying Corps from the 5th Training Battalion on 12th

March 1917 and was posted to 69 Squadron Australian Flying Corps on 7th

April 1917, arriving in France on 25th August 1917. His unit was renamed 3rd Squadron AFC on 18th January 1918, he was listed as 1st Air Mechanic, remustered as Airman 2nd class on 17th May 1918. In France he was also an aerial photographer. A cold and dangerous job in an unarmed open cockpit bi-plane, hanging over the side with a big un-wieldy camera, taking photos behind enemy lines, with hostile shots fired from below and the threat of other enemy planes coming out of the blue. He would also have dropped bombs and smoke bombs, propaganda leaflets and to his own troops, bags of precious mail. Roy reports that he saw Ger-man Flying Ace Baron Richthofen, known as The Red Baron, in his red bi-plane. He took a photograph of the Baron’s grave with the plane’s broken propeller used as his grave marker. Roy suffered bouts of pleurisy, a lung ailment aggravated by the cold and possible exposure to mustard gas causing him to be hospitalised in England several times. He returned to Australia via Transporter City of Exeter on 2nd

March 1919. Discharged from the Australian Imperial Force medically unfit 24 April 1919. He never married. He returned to Norfolk Island where he died on 28 March 1966. He is buried in the Norfolk Island Cemetery. Roy Bell received the British War Medal and the Victory Medal.

Early History of the Moggill Ferry:

About 1877, Henry Stanley, a lucerne farmer at Riverview, started a ferry ser-

vice using a timber punt big enough to hold a horse and dray. The ferry later

came under the control of the Purga and Indooroopilly Divisional Boards and

is currently operated by a private company licensed by the Department of

Transport.

Many early passengers of the ferry were miners who lived at Moggill and

worked at mines such as New Chum. A ferry service still operates at Moggill.

Causes of Death

© (Continued from previous edition)

With kind permission from Ellen McCutcheon)

These medical diagnoses were among those entered in Stawell (Victoria) Hospital’s ad-

mission registers from 1859. There are many more which can be found in old medical

textbooks, but these are the ones specifically found in the Stawell registers.

Much terminology used in the late 1800s to early 1900s no longer exists in medical or

nursing texts, nor in contemporary general dictionaries, however, I own a very old medi-

cal textbook once used by my late great grandfather, who, working on the Stawell Reefs,

tried to help fellow miners with health problems. There were many diagnoses recorded

but as many terms are still current today, they’re not all included. Probably the biggest

killers of people in this area in the 1860s-1920s were phthisis pulmonalis (also referred to

as consumption or tuberculosis), diphtheria, typhoid fever, syphilis, hydatids disease, al-

coholism, rheumatic heart disease and cancers of all kinds.

Dropsy - An unusual watery state of the body tissues. Elderly folk still use this

term. It’s a symptom, not a disease; chronic heart and kidney failure being the

usual culprits. The most common cause is chronic congestive cardiac failure. As-

cites is a form of dropsy, involving the abdominal cavity, in the case of cirrhosis,

cancer, etc. Hydrocephalus is another form of dropsy, affecting the brain.

Erysipelas or St Anthony’s Fire – A contagious skin disease, caused by the strep-

tococcus bacilli, which often commenced with bites from insects, characterised by

a deeply rosy face. If untreated, it developed into a serious fever, with delirium

and rapid pulse.

Endocarditis - Inflammation of the endocardium (the membrane lining the heart).

This disease was common on the goldfields, thought to be a complication of sore

throats or infected, abscess-ridden gums, especially in the case of pre-existing val-

vular heart disease. In this day and age, to prevent this dangerous inflammation

occurring, responsible dentists will not extract teeth that have abscesses until a

course of antibiotics has first been administered.

Epididymitis - Infection of the epididymus, usually due to gonorrhoea, prostatic

disease or tuberculosis.

21

Epithelioma - Skin cancer, often occurring at a junction of mucus membrane and

skin, eg. nose, or lip or rectum. In the early 1900s, it was known as ‘trade cancer’ for

people who handled mercury, xrays, coal tar, soot, arsenic or silver nitrate, devel-

oped it. However, we now know that over-exposure to the sun is the main culprit.

But there are many chemicals that are carcinogenic and haven’t always been han-

dled with care.

Ecthyma - A severe form of impetigo - commonly on legs, between knees and an-

kles, and usually seems to attack run-down people. Lice were often a carrier of the

infection and so people who handled sheep and goats on a regular basis were

prone to it.

Ectropion - A condition where eyelids turn outwards. Fairly common in elderly

people, where muscles are more lax.

Erythema - The first sign of dermatitis, characterised by redness and usually tied

in with a history of rheumatic disease. Some forms are infectious. Erythema

Nodosum generally appeared on the fronts of legs and was often associated with

Bright’s Disease.

Falling Sickness – An old name for epilepsy.

Favus – Similar to ringworm, it was a disease of the skin and hair, caused by the

growth of a fungus. Though it could be passed on from one person to another,

quite often it only attacked one person in a family. It was more likely to be picked

up from cats or mice.

Filiariasis – A disease of sub tropical and tropical countries. Filiaria or tiny worms

infected humans via female mosquito bites. These then attacked the lymphatic

glands, which became enlarged. (Elephantiasis)

Globus Hystericus – A common complaint in hysteria where the patient felt a

choking sensation as if a ball were obstructing the throat. The feeling of ‘a lump in

the throat’ sometimes felt when the emotions were stirred.

22

Grinders Asthma - Also thought to be a form of consumption or tuberculosis.

Brush-makers, file cutters, needle polishers, flint workers, underground miners

and stone cutters were the most susceptible, because of the very fine particles they

regularly inhaled into their lungs. Other ways to develop this asthma; handling

wallpaper which contained arsenic; artificial flower-makers were exposed to ar-

senite of copper; hatters used mercury to remove hair from skins .

Hydatids Disease - Characterised by a large sac or bladder that forms in humans,

which contains encysted larvae of the tapeworm (Echinococcus). It causes very

serious disease in humans, affecting the liver, lungs, bowel, brain and bones in

particular. Extremely contagious – once, when I was a theatre scrub nurse, the

surgeon found a large hydatid cyst under a patient’s liver in a routine gall bladder

operation. ‘All hell broke loose’– the surgeon and I had to stay where we were

while the theatre suite was sealed for the rest of the day, the list cancelled, the pa-

tient isolated. Scrub clothes, shoes and theatre linen were removed and burnt.

Only then could we leave theatre. The whole suite was then ‘fogged’ with

Hibitaine and then six hours later, fogged again. That’s how seriously it was

taken. Many people used to die of this illness and in the Stawell hospital admis-

sion register, there were many cases of it. Rabbits pick up the tapeworm. Dogs

love offal and rabbits, so should never be allowed to lick one’s face or hands even

if they’ve been wormed. Many doctors and nurses that I speak to, these days seem

to know little or nothing about hydatids, yet it was reported in the Weekly Times

that it seems to be appearing in the community again.

Hypopium - A purulent eye infection, eg. Conjunctivitis. A newborn baby might

contract it from its mother if she has gonorrhoea during pregnancy.

Inanition - According to the dictionary, it means ‘exhaustion, resulting from lack

of food, also social, mental or spiritual weakness or lassitude.’ Textbooks of the

post-Great War era also specifically mentioned ‘infantile inanition’, suggesting

that some newborns, for whatever reason, did not gain enough nutrition from

their mothers or were unable to metabolise what they did receive. Even in the 20th

century, babies born in war-torn countries like Bosnia and Bulgaria and even con-

fined to orphanages have been described as suffering from something strongly

resembling inanition.Impetigo – This was commonly known as ‘school sores’; an

easily spread skin disease with festering, pustular spots, which left concave dents

in the skin after healing. Common in families or schools. Fairly prevalent in fami-

lies with poor hygiene but easily caught by the cleanest of people. It was also eas-

ily caught from goats and sheep, especially if the handler already had bruises or

cuts on the legs and arms. Due to the staphylococcus bacilli.

23

Locomotor Ataxia - Chronic disease of the nervous system which is one of the

later symptoms of chronic syphilis. Ten times more common in men than

women and often did not show up until at least 20 years into the disease.

Lupus - Was then called tuberculosis of the skin. When neglected, this condition

produced terrible disfigurement, as the skin was eaten away. One early textbook

suggested that many cases of ‘leprosy’ of the Middle Ages were in reality, lupus.

Cannot find if this condition is connected to the modern day ‘lupus.’

Malaena - Blood in stools, either as frank, visible blood or digested blood. Sickly

sweet smell - once smelt, never forgotten. Due to ulcerative colitis, diverticulitis

or a bleeding gastric ulcer.

Metrorrhagia - Irregular bleeding from the uterus.

Mitral Regurgitation - Mitral valve disease is caused by damage to the mitral

valve during episodes of rheumatic fever, which was incredibly common on the

goldfields. The valve becomes useless so the blood flows back into the heart

chamber it has just been pumped from.

Morbilli - Measles.

Metritis - Inflammation of the uterine wall, caused by many things – suggested

cause was too many pregnancies, childbirth later in reproductive life, sub-

involution of the uterus, gonorrhoea or any other inflammation of the uterus.

Morbus Brightii - ‘Morbus’ is a Latin term for disease. Possibly here, it is sug-

gesting kidney disease.

Mobus Cordis - General term covering all heart disease.

Morbus Coxae - Hip disease; probably osteo arthritis of the hip joint.

Necrosis of the Jaw - The men who made matches for a living were regularly

exposed to phosphorus and were at risk of developing necrosis of either the up-

per or lower jaw or both. This necessitated surgical removal of the affected jaw

bone. No explanation as to why the phosphorus buildup in a person’s system

would select the jaw for attack.

24

Neurasthenia - A state of chronic mental and physical weariness. Sufferers

found it difficult to carry out simple tasks so they lost confidence in them-

selves. They usually slept well but still woke up tired. Interestingly, in the

old texts, these patients were specifically described as ‘anxious to work’ and

that they ‘worried incessantly about it.’ Extreme weariness, accompanied by

violent headaches, especially pressure in the skull, chest pain, indigestion,

swelling of one side or other of the face, depression and joint pains. Sounds

a bit like modern day ‘chronic fatigue syndrome’ – also a legitimate illness,

which often seems to attack people with strong work ethics. There were

many people in the goldfields community who suffered rheumatic fever or

glandular fever - these days, CFS is often associated with rheumatic fever,

Ross River virus or glandular fever and regular contact with chemicals

seems to exacerbate the condition. Necrosis Tibiae - Death of bone, due to

the ‘cutting off’ of the blood supply. May be caused by a compound frac-

ture; of the tibia, in this instance. A compound fracture is so named when,

not only is there a fracture of bone, but the fractured ends puncture the skin,

so allowing bacteria to penetrate the limb more easily, causing the greater

complication of septicaemia .

Osteitis - Chronic bone disease which commences later in life (Paget’s Dis-

ease). Bones show signs of softening which alters the shape to a certain ex-

tent, but subsequently, they harden, leaving them deformed, eg. Curvature

of the spine, bones of the legs and enlargement of the skull. No known cure

at the time.

Many researchers teach you to fill out the Ancestral Charts and

concentrate solely on that in your searches. This makes sense in

that it keeps you focused on your direct blood-lines so you can

work further and further up the family tree.

However, family history is meant to be fun as well as serious so there are good reasons

for straying from that path.

1) If you know who the siblings are, you are more likely to pick the right forbear with

the same name and year of birth as ten others!

2) Sometimes going off at a tangent leads you into some fascinating places and to

very interesting people. A case in point was my paternal grandfather's younger brother.

He married, in his thirties, an older woman whose father was Sir James 'Buster'

Browne, Knight Commander of the Star of India, who had an illustrious career with the

British Army in India.

3) Research can flesh out the lives of older relatives that you remember. Many of my

relatives lived into their eighties and nineties so I knew them as a child and even a

young adult. Quite a few people with Scottish heritage will have a crofter in the family

tree. This was harsh, almost subsistance farming but made for hardy, hard-working

people. My paternal great grandfather married a school-teacher who must have taught

her children well. Of her three boys, one became a doctor, one a solicitor and the third

a civil engineer who built many well known structures like Chelsea Bridge in London,

Jacques Cartier Bridge in Montreal, worked on raising the Aswan Dam in Egypt and

was with one of the firms involved with Mulberry Harbour for the D-Day landing. At

the age of 88 he had a book published about the first railway he helped build near his

home in Argyllshire. The two girls also fared well. One became Personal Assistant to

the War Graves Commissioner and the other was the mother of a doctor who started a

Blood Transfusion service for mothers in Rottenrow, Glasgow and then went to India

to work in Obstetrics in a major hospital. All these from one little branch of the tree!

4) When you hit a brick wall in your direct search, sometimes it is good to take a detour

so that you come back to your search with renewed enthusiasm.

Happy Hunting!

Lady Teviot Seminar Part III

Workhouses

The Act for the Relief of the Poor 1601 made the Parishes legally responsible for

the care of the aged and those with infirmity, within their Parish boundaries, who

were unable to work. Some form of relief for the poor had been on the go from as

far back as the 15th century with the demise of the monasteries. Those unable to

work due to age or infirmity were to be looked after in Almshouses or a poorhouse.

The able-bodied poor were to be set to work in a House of Industry were materials

would be provided for them. The idle-poor, those who did not want to work, and

vagrants were to be sent to a house of correction or even prison. For those workers

who found themselves out of work temporarily they could be given outdoor relief

which could come in the form of money, food or clothing. A Government survey in

1776 put the number of Parish workhouses at 1800 with a capacity of over 90,000

places.

This growth in the number of workhouses was prompted by the Workhouse Test

Act of 1723 by anyone requiring poor relief having to enter the workhouse and un-

dertake a set amount of work, usually for no pay. This was known as “Indoor Re-

lief” which enabled the parishes to stop irresponsible claims on the parish’s poor

rates.

Relief of the Poor Act 1782, also known as Gilbert’s Act was passed to combat the

excessive costs of outdoor relief. It promoted indoor alternatives and allowed par-

ishes to combine to support the impotent poor. However, outdoor relief was still

used to help the able-bodied poor.

The growth in the number of workhouses was also bolstered by the Relief of the

Poor Act 1782, proposed by Thomas Gilbert. Gilbert's Act was intended to allow

parishes to share the cost of poor relief by forming unions, known as Gilbert Un-

ions, to build and maintain even larger workhouses to accommodate the elderly and

infirm. The able-bodied poor were instead either given outdoor relief or found em-

ployment locally.

30

Lady Teviot Seminar Part III - Workhouses (cont)

After the 1793 - 1815 Napoleon War finished there was no work for the return-

ing soldiers, which put more pressure on the poor system. After a 1795 meeting

at the Pelican Inn in Speenhamland, Berkshire, where a number of local magis-

trates devised a system as a means to alleviate the distress caused by high grain

prices. This was known as the “Speenhamland System” which aimed to give a

form of “outdoor relief” to help with rural poverty. The high grain prices, caused

by three bad harvests pushing up the cost of bread along with agricultural devel-

opments was the cause of the “Swing Riots” where farms were attacked and hay-

stacks set alight. At this time the “workhouses” where desperate to cut their

costs that it is said that some husbands were forced to sell their wives to avoid

them becoming a liability on the Parish.

Some of the sparsely populated Parishes would house the homeless poor in

rented houses and give others relief in their own home.

By the 1830’s most parishes had a least one workhouse, but many were badly

managed which ended with a Royal Commission chaired by the Bishop of Lon-

don in 1832.

By 1832 the cost of poor relief nationally had risen from £2 million in 1784 to

£7 million a year. The result of the Royal Commission was the establishment of

a centralised Poor Law Commission in England and Wales under the Poor Law

Amendment Act of 1834. This Act made it so the outdoor relief to able bodied

was discouraged and made it so everyone was offered a place in the Workhouse

or nothing at all. The Act also resulted in individual Parishes being formed into

Poor Law Unions, each of which had a workhouse. Over the next fifty years

more than 500 workhouses were built, two thirds of these were built by 1840.

1837 saw an economic depression which saw many workers losing their jobs. At

this time there was a strong feeling that these workers did not need to be placed

into the workhouses but need short term relief to help them over this period.

Five hundred and seventy three Poor Law Unions had been built by 1838 but it

was not until 1868 that Poor Law Unions had been established across the whole

of England and Wales.

Relief of the poor was still the responsibility of the local taxpayers despite the

intentions behind the 1834 Poor Law Act and loopholes where found to enable

the poor to be with outdoor relief as this cost half the cost of having these people

in the workhouse.

31

Relief of the poor was still the responsibility of the local taxpayers despite the in-

tentions behind the 1834 Poor Law Act and loopholes where found to enable the

poor to be with outdoor relief as this cost half the cost of having these people in

the workhouse.

Further restrictions were put on outdoor relief by the 1844 Outdoor Relief Prohibi-

tory Order. The aim of this Order was to end relief for able-bodied poor. In 1846

only 199,000 paupers were maintained in workhouses out of a total of 1.3 million

paupers.

Paupers entering the workhouse were split into different age groups. These groups

where boys under 14, able-bodied men between 14 and 60, men over 60, girls un-

der 14, able-bodied women between 14 and 60, and women over 60. Children un-

der the age of two were allowed to remain with their mothers. Tramps and va-

grants could get a room overnight in the workhouses where they would take a bath

and have a meal. They would be given a blanket and a workhouse nightshirt. For

this they were expected to work part of the following day before going on their

way. Once they had been in a workhouses overnight they were unable to go back

to that workhouse again within 30 days.

A typical workhouse day would be as follows: 6.00am Rise, 6.30am – 7.00am

Breakfast, 7.00am – 12.00noon Work, 12.00 noon – 1.00pm Dinner, 1.00pm –

6.00pm Work, 6.00pm – 7.00pm Supper, 8.00pm Bedtime. Sunday was a day of

rest and during the winter inmates were allowed to rise an hour later and did not

start work until 8.00am. Some of the jobs that were undertaken by the workhouse

inmates were looking after the sick, teaching (that was beyond their capabilities),

breaking stones, crushing bones and removing the hemp from telegraph wire.

Some workhouses had contracts with Mills, etc. where they would provide chil-

dren to work in the Mills, etc.

A government inquiry in 1845 found that the paupers in many of the workhouses

were starving and would fight over rotting bones, which they were to crush for

fertiliser, so that they could suck out the marrow. The resulting scandal that fol-

lowed this inquiry stopped the work of bone crushing as employment of those in

the workhouse and the replacement of the Poor Law Commission by the Poor Law

Board in 1847. Conditions in workhouses thereafter were regulated according to a

list of rules contained in the 1847 Consolidated General Order, which included

guidance on issues such as diet, staff duties, dress, education, discipline and re-

dress of grievances.

32

Lady Teviot Seminar Part III - Workhouses (cont)

Gardeners and Bricklayers would be in and out of the workhouses depending on the

weather and work available.

Some Poor Law Unions sent destitute children to the British Colonies, especially

Australia and Canada. These were known as Home Children and the Philanthropic

Farm School alone sent more than 1,000 boys to the colonies between 1850 and

1871, many of them taken from workhouses.

As far as possible elderly inmates were expected to undertake the same kind of work

as the younger men and women, although concessions were made to their relative

frailty. They might alternatively be required to chop firewood, clean the wards, or

carry out other domestic tasks. In 1882 Lady Brabazon, later the Countess of Meath,

set up a project to provide alternative occupation for non-able-bodied inmates,

known as the Brabazon scheme. Volunteers provided training in crafts such as knit-

ting, embroidery and lace making, all costs initially being borne by Lady Brabazon

herself. Although slow to take off, when workhouses discovered that the goods being

produced were saleable and could make the enterprise self-financing, the scheme

gradually spread across the country, and by 1897 there were more than 100 branches.

Whenever a person in the workhouse died their relatives were informed so that they

could arrange the burial. If no relatives can be found then they would be given a pau-

per burial within the workhouse premises.

Records of workhouses can be found in the relative County Repository or in the Na-

tional Archives.

This piece has been written using my notes from the Lady Teviot Seminar and from

an article on Workhouses on Wikipedia.
