This information was produced by Gareth Richards as part of his study of the population of Deddington 1841 to 1911 based on data taken from the 10-yearly census.
From the 1830s Deddington belonged to the Woodstock Poor-Law Union. Those applying for assistance had to appear before the Board of Guardians in Woodstock before (possibly) being granted "outdoor relief" or admission to the Union Workhouse in Hensington Lane, Bladon.
The following 30 people, born in Deddington, were resident in the workhouse in 1881:
