YEELES in Axbridge Workhouse
published by Pat Hase on Thu, 12/01/2012 - 1:01

I see that this is a new name in our members' interests. If you look in the Axbridge Workhouse Records which I have put under Members' Research there is mention of Ann & Agnes YEELES both from Churchill who were inmates around 1881.  Agnes was born in the Workhouse, the daughter of Ann (sometimes called Elizabeth Ann) 28 July 1880 and Ann also appears to have a son James Luke in about 1888.

What are not entered yet are the entries of Ann YEELES in the punishment book of the Workhouse.  She must have been a spirited young lady - she refused to work in the Laundry and was put on bread and water amongst other entries! I would love to know what happened to Ann and her family.
