Ignore that last image - I have realised that from looking at other records on the page, one being Cooperative, that Jenkins is likely to be the funeral directors!
It seems that this man was so unpopular, 3 children by 3 different women, one who left him to go to Australia, beating his partners and children with a belt that he was left in the home for 5 years, and then presumably none of the family wanted anything to do with the burial and he was buried in a public grave. My wife always said that her grandfather hated his dad, this man, and disowned him.
All very sad but I needed to prove it was him to make sure that the family tree line is correct.
The assistant in the library said that if I emailed Roger Hull, the archivist there, then I could pay to see if there was any further info on the admission record, rather than this death record. Still trying to find out where he was before he entered the homes. As an aside, my wife's mum remembers being told that he was fighting overseas in the army. From the term he used, it may have been the Boer war or elsewhere overseas.
