Mary was born in 1845.
Mary Last ... 1871 census.
She passed away about 1921.
It would appear that Mary (my Great Grandmother) had all her children out of wedlock there is no record of her marrying until 1893 at least 3 were born in the workhouse. Both Frederick and Joseph were born at home and the father was William Woolnough however the both used the surname Last. Frederick died in 1902 we suspect through flue Joseph left home at the age of 17 to join the army with his cousins William and Elizabeth they were involved in the Second Boer War South Africa. Note on the Poor Law
Plomesgate Poor Law Union officially came into existence on 30th December, 1835. Its operation was overseen by an elected Board of Guardians, 41 in number, representing its 40 constituent parishes as listed below (figures in brackets indicate numbers of Guardians if more than one):
County of Suffolk: Aldeburgh, Benhall, Blaxhall, Brandeston, Bruisyard, Butley,Campsea Ash, Chillesford, Cransford, Cretingham, Earlsoham, Easton, Eyke, Farnham, Framlinghgam (2), Freston, Great Glemham, Little Glemham, Hacheston, Haslewood, Hoo, Iken, Kenton, Kittleburgh, Letheringham, Marlesford, Monewden, Orford, Parham, Rendham, Rendlesham, Saxmundham, Snape, Sternfield, Stratford St Andrew, Sudborne [Sudbourne], Swefling, Tunstall, Wantisden, Wickham Market.The population falling within the union at the 1831 census had been 20,703 with parishes ranging in size from Haslewood (population 90) to Framlingham (2,445). The average annual poor-rate expenditure for the period 1833-35 had been £19,947 or 19s.3d. per head of the population.
Plomesgate Union workhouse was built in 1836-7 at Wickham Market. Its construction cost about £7,000 and it could accommodate 400 inmates. The building, constructed of red brick in an Elizabethan style, was designed by John Brown who was also the architect of the Mutford and Lothingland union workhouse at Oulton. His design for the Plomesgate Union used the relatively uncommon double-cruciform layout. The workhouse is believed to have been used for Land Army accommodation during the Second World War. In 1948 the property was acquired by the local council and converted to housing.
