Wicklow / Re: Rathdrum Workhouse 1840's

That is helpful thank you.

Do you know if the book is still available ?

I assume the patient records for the Hospital would be difficult to access.

Thanks for the Reply,

I have a death cert from 1916 giving the place of death as Rathdrum Hospital, my research has led me to believe that  the workhouse was became the hospital but I'm not 100% certain of that.

Don't know if anyone is still chasing Rathdrum Workhouse records but the Wicklow Family History Centre keeps them on behalf of the National Archives. As a result, they don't charge for searches. I was able to trace my great grandfather's admissions as a result. Unfortunately they only go as far as March 1914.

In the 1911 census, 'inmates' were only identified by initials - not sure if this was an attempt to maintain confidentiality or to dehumanise them.

I too am interested in the Rathdrum Workhouse  but the era I am interested in is late 1916 when I think it was being used as Hospital of some sort, would anyone here know anything of this or are there records available anywhere for this period?

Thanks Shane,

I suspected so much, I have not noticed any Underwoods in the RC registers and I have been through a few of them  in the last month or so.

There were no Underwoods listed in Wicklow in Griffits Valuation, there were 5 households in wexford though.

Thank you all for the suggestions.  I have followed up on Johns and sent an email requesting the Gazette entry. Would I be right in thinking that the book is a collection of such entries.  I will let you know when I recieve  a reply. I will leave this thread open until then if thats ok with the moderator.

Thanks again
