According to his birth certificate my grandfather was born in Sculcoates workhouse 162 Beverley road in February 1901 my great grandmother his mother was at the time was a widow (I cant find any workhouse records) but when the census took place a month later his mother was back living with her parents (granddad not listed) she eventually moved and remarried and my granddad was brought up by her 2nd husband. I understand the shame attached to these circumstances in those days but we are wondering if her family wouldn't have her at home for the birth or if she went to the workhouse for medical assistance Any thoughts
