Yesterday was a sad day as it was the second family funeral that we'd been to in a month. However, I did come away with this large framed photograph. It is believed to be my husband's grandfather. The next task is to carefully remove the backing for any further clues. #genealogy #FamilyHistory

It's sad to think that the person you are researching became one of these inmates at the Billericay workhouse in 1911. 😮
