On Catherine's death cert. in 1895 her parents are described as JAMES McHutcheon (shoemaker) and CATHERINE McHutcheon (MAIDEN SURNAME UNKNOWN). The informant was Catherine's husband Thomas!

The 'Poor law Unions' were set up in Scotland in 1845. Each Union was governed by a Board of Guardians and not abolished untill 1948. If elderly people were taken into the workhouse under the poorlaw they usually stayed there untill they died and were buried as paupers. It is strange that Thomas had a large family and yet ended his life under such circumstances. Although still alive in 1891 he was not shown on the census for his family home.
