Lancashire Lookup Requests / Re: 20 Nell Lane

Hello K Garrad,
                       Thank you for your note about 20, Nell Lane.

                       It is a very sobering thought, that the Victorians went so far as to consider the implications of having a 'workhouse' shown as the place of birth on an innocent child's birth certificate.

                       Thank you again,  Burdett2748.

On a more cheerful note - was there a maternity wing at 20 Nell Lane in 1947 ?  I know someone whose birth certificate shows place of birth as 20 Nell Lane, Withington, that I have always thought was a private house - you know community midwife home births, etc. Not knowing the area, I tuned in to Google intending to look at a street view and the Roots site was top of the list - so here I am.
