@GenealogyJude @ChalfontR @ProfProbert @Workhouses @GwentArchives You’re welcome … I’ve found records for my own family from the Pontypool Union in that collection recently, which were similarly confusing at first sight until I worked out what the collection really is - Ancestry don’t have a particularly helpful description or name for it …

[Jenni Phillips @JenniPh]

@GenealogyJude @ChalfontR @ProfProbert @Workhouses Is it from the Gwent ‘Workhouse Registers’ collection on Ancestry? If so, I think the collection’s name is misleading - the Abergavenny records appear to come from this collection at @GwentArchives - https://t.co/LzuyU3ermB - so not exclusively workhouse records …

@FamilyHistPod @RegQualGenes @StrathGenealogy Thanks Andrew!
