The facebook page is Gorey Workhouse Project - I had understood the hospital and workhouse were hand in hand unless there is another hospital at the time? Anne would be better on this side of things as she is a local - I am from Dublin. Because I think the hospital gate was right next to were the Workhouse graveyard is.

I will look for you joining the page and look forward to sharing with you.

Sorry Margow didn't see your reply - thank you

The people /immates in workhouses throughout Ireland were recorded by their initials only on census

P M could be Patrick Murphy making family research difficult

Have you found out where Gorey Workhouse Dead were buried ?

Good luck with the project.

They were mostly buried in the workhouse graveyard with only a stone marker . No names . If you would like more details check out our Facebook page and Anne who lives locally can give you directions. In the Gorey workhouse I think they gave mostly the full names in the census.

Some of the dead were buried in St Michaels Cemetery in Gorey.

I hope that helps. We haven't gotten too far yet with the project it's a slow burner.

The PRONI website covers mainly Northern Ireland records and a search with the word 'Gorey' brings up 0 results. For Wexford documents the place to try would be the National Archives in Dublin-
