Nice try, but you can't win 'em all!!!      So I won't expect a reply from them today then if they're closed.

Thanks, Amberly

Amberley, there's some history of Withington/Chorlton workhouse (same place in later years) on The Workhouse website:
http://www.workhouses.org.uk/

Until fairly recently it was still in operation as Withington Hospital (there are still some buildings used for outpatients etc, though the main blocks have been demolished).

Thanks mshrmh for the info.  I have to go out now so won't have time to browse the site until tonight but will do so then.

Thanks again,

Hi

I have found burial entries for Withington Workhouse on findmypast but wondered if anyone knew what the different departments were?

One child died and the department is given as 4a and the other died a couple of weeks later and the department looks like Cott.

Many Thanks

Linda
