In 1881, some disaster hit the family. William went to live with his uncle, and Jane and the three younger children went to the workhouse. Son Charles was born in Whitchurch, so he was sent to the Whitchurch Workhouse. The girls were born in Nantwich so went to the Nantwich Workhouse with their mother Jane.
