Forden Workhouse.

I'm having trouble locating this institution in the 1911 census. Can anyone tell me the name of the road/street/anything else which will assist me in finding it?. Please ........

Hi, Llwyd,

Have you seen this?

http://www.workhouses.org.uk/

It gives rough idea of the location, which you may be able to narrow down with a map.

From info on the Workhouse site , it`s now a Meditation centre 
I bet the poor inmates didn`t have much time for that.

This could be it, the position of the railway seems to match the map.

Thanks for assistance but I still can't find the name of the road/street where it is located, which seems to be required for searching the 1911 census.

 I`ve think I`ve  got it in 1911. Try this.
For street = Forden
County = Montgomeryshire.
Residential Place = Union Workhouse.
This gave the following
1 results found. You searched for: 
Address FORDEN
County Montgomeryshire
Residence UNION WORKHOUSE

Residential place
This field draws matches from a number of other search fields: address, locality name, institution name, vessel name, parish name, street name, registration sub-district name, registration district name, and registration county name.

Wilcoxon ......... I think I love you ...........  I've looked and looked and found nothing. Hurray for you!.

I`ve not used it myself to find people, but if you get the whole list of the inmates then that must be good value, I`ve heard of people  spending
`loadamoney` on the wrong Jones, Davies etc.
Can you tell us if you do, then I might consider trying the Bersham Union for local interest..

I had five pages of persons resident in the Workhouse, but there was a charge of 10 credits per page to view the transcript, so it could prove expensive es[ecially if you want to view the originals.I only needed the first page though. Thank you once again.

Hi Llywd.

Did you manage to see the 1911 Census for the Forden Workhouse?

Was there a William Rees or Reese, ex printer,  on any page?

He was there in 1901. Can't find a death for him, as he was born 1844 Fishguard.
