Lancashire / Re: 123 Cresent Rd, Crumpsall 1843

Hi.
Thanks failsafe for your contribution, however, the link provided by mancsman deems from 1904 all Birth certificates were issued with the address 123 Crescent Road to protect them from disadvantage in later life. So she was probably in the workhouse in 1920 when my mother was born. Her address in Burnley turns out to be a boarding house, so the trail goes dead, for now.
Would there be records of inmates at this time 1920?? and would they be available?.
Regards, Bernard.

Hello All.
I have just aquired my mothers Birth Certificate for 1920.  123 Crescent road is her place of birth. There is no father on the certificate but the mother lived in Burnley. Could this be a poorhouse/workhouse? My mother always stated she was an orphan. I am a newbee to this site so please be kind.
Regards, Swine.
