Title: Mountmellick Institution 1911 census report
Post by: jasper on Friday 13 August 10 15:17 BST (UK)

Hi,

I have found my gg uncle William Roberts aged 23 on the 1911 census.

It is a census report for an Institution in Mountmellick but doesn't have the name of it on the top.

Would anyone know what it was called.

Thank you for your help.

Michelle

It looks like it's an Asylum beside Mountmellick Union Workhouse - see the building return Form B1 (http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/reels/nai003174413/)

Asylum and Infirmaries were often part of workhouse complexes.

updated : more details - Mountmellick Workhouse (http://www.workhouses.org.uk/index.html?Mountmellick/Mountmellick.shtml)
