The Common Room / Re: Did every workhouse order take place?
« on: Saturday 11 September 10 21:14 BST (UK) »
Hello,
I've only just registered with the website so I hope this message will get through to you coombs, as I can't seem to send you a message.
I wonder if you still have the reference number for the resource you mention here:
as I've just spent the whole day at the LMA and didn't find this - I am looking for Grays Inn Road Workhouse records from 1876 and before. Unfortunately all the records I found are after this date, but your post has given me hope! I have tried searching the LMA records from home but can't find this in there.
Any tips?
Cheers,
Lox

At the LMA a few weeks ago I found the very useful register of "Admissions and Discharges to Workhouse in Holborn Union District" 1860-1900. This proved to be a goldmine as this contains all the workhouse admissions and discharges of every institution in the Holborn Union District, arranged by surname, then in the first column, the name of the particular workhouse they went to eg, Grays Inn Workhouse....
