    Details of Dunmow Workhouse are as follow:
    Dunmow Poor Law Union was formed on 26th March 1835. Its operation was overseen by an elected Board of Guardians, 33 in number, representing its 26 constituent parishes as listed below (figures in brackets indicate numbers of Guardians if more than one):
    County of Essex: Great Bardfield, Little Bardfield, Saling Bardfield [Bardfield Saling], Barnston, Broxted, Great Canfield, Little Canfield, Chickney, Great Dunmow (3), Little Dunmow, Great Easton, Little Easton, High Easter, Felstead (2), Hatfield Broad Oaks (2), Lindsell, Aythorpe Roothing [Roding], High Roothing [Roding], Morrell Roothing [Roding], White Roothing [Roding], Stebbing (2), Takeley, Thaxted (3), Tilty. 
    The population falling within the Union at the 1831 census had been 18,769 — with parishes ranging in size from Morrell Roothing (population 32) to Great Dunmow (2,462). The average annual poor-rate expenditure for the period 1831-34 had been £20,109 or £1.1s.5d. per head of the population. 
    Dunmow Union workhouse was erected in 1838-40 at Great Dunmow. It was designed by George Gilbert Scott and William Bonython Moffatt where were the architects of many other workhouses during this period including ones for the Witham, Billericay and Tendring Unions. The Dunmow workhouse was erected on a site to the east of the town on the north side of the road to Chelmsford. It cost about £8,000 to build and could accommodate 350. The workhouse location and layout are shown on the 1896 map below.
    Details of Mary Ann THOROGOOD and her descendants and the father and mother of Joseph THOROGOOD received from a Robert THORPE of Cedar Rapids,  Iowa on 24th January 2004.
  2. 1841 Census - Village, Felstead, Essex. 
    1861 Village, Felsted, Essex. 
    Original information received from Robert THORPE of Cedar Rapids, Iowa on 24th January 2004.
    Hannah BENEWORTH is how Hannah's second name is spelt on her Baptism. On her marriage it is BENNEWORTH. We have standardised the spelling as BENEWORTH for all of the BENEWORTH Charts. There are lots of variations on how this name is spelt.
    Daughter of Samuel and Hannah BENNEWORTH
  3. 1861 Rectory, Little Waltham, Essex. 
    1871 High Street, Wormley, Hertfordshire. Frederick THOROGOOD was visiting the family. James and Mary had a son Frederick born 1865 in Wormley, Hertfordshire. 
  4. 1841 Census - Village, Felstead, Essex. This confirms the family as I had it, other than the eldest son Joseph. It also adds a younger son, Frederick.
    Robert THORPE sent me on 23rd October 2006 the following funeral bill which we think relates to this William. It was sent to his brother James who lived in Wormley.

    1871 Census - Village, Felsted, Essex, 
    1881 Census for whole family RG11/ 1812. Cottage, Felstead, Essex
    1891 Census RG12/1427
    1901 Census RG13/1730
  6. 1841 Census - Village, Felstead, Essex.
    1861 I have not found Henry on the 1861 Census. There is a Henry Thorogood, down as 22 years old, so born in 1839, born Felstead, Essex on board an HMS vessel in Cornwall. He is down as a Private R.M. and could be the correct person but appears to be four years younger than he should have been.
    1871 Census - Kingston Road, Merton, Surrey. I have found Henry, living next door to Betsey Chittenden, and her father. He was a Lodger and a Labourer. He was down as being born in Chelmsford, Essex, but we know he was baptised in Felsted, Essex.
    1881 Census. 9 Whites Cottages Raynes Park, Wimbledon, Surrey
    1891 Census -  Willow Cottages, Kingston Road, Wimbledon, Surrey
    1901 Census - 1 Willow Cottages, Kingston Road, North Wimbledon, Surrey
  7. 1841 Census - Village, Felstead, Essex.
    1861 Rectory, Little Waltham, Essex
    1871 High Street, Wormley, Hertfordshire. Frederick THOROGOOD was visiting the family. James and Mary had a son Frederick born 1865 in Wormley, Hertfordshire. 
    1881 New Star Inn, Wormley, Hertfordshire. Frederick is down as a Lodger.
    1891 High Road, Wormley, Hertfordshire. Frederick is down as a Lodger
    1901 High Road, Wormley, Hertfordshire. Frederick is down as a Boarder
    BMD death, but only a possiblity as the age does not quite tie up with the birth date. However this is not unusual so I would think it is likely to be the correct Frederick THOROGOOD.


    Felsted/Felstead can be spelt with or without an a, for ease and consistency on these charts I have gone for the Felsted spelling.
    The Felsted Returns for the 1851 Census are missing which is unfortunate which means certain information we would like to see are not available

The idea of these charts is to give the information that we have found in the research we have done and put together and with the help of many other people who have contacted us over the past thirty odd years we have been researching our family. The idea is that you click on the Chart box in blue to be taken to the next family. There is now a large number of charts to be found and connections can be made to all the main families I am researching. If a chart has a box with the standard background it means that as yet I have not put the Chart on the Web.
To conform to the Data Protection Act all the Charts have been altered to exclude all details for living people other than the name.
