Thomas died in the Kyle Union Poorhouse in Ayr aged 69 [18 Nov 1904]
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 until 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, but at his daughte Rachael's home at Coylton, Ayrs.
