Hi

I was researching a different Walker when I spotted this old post. For what it's worth , A Lizzie Walker age 21, mill worker , died in Belfast Workhouse Aug 12 1886. The age fits , but no other clues on the certificate

I am not sure that Cole Street is the workhouse -

I believe the Lurgan workhouse address was William Street or John Street

Its now Lurgan Hospital - Sloan Street

Aghalee seems to be between Lurgan and Antrim

Is there possibly another workhouse serviing Aghalee (Lisburn?) - Lisburn Workhouse is now Lagan Valley Hospital

Aghalee did come under Lurgan Poor Law Union-

Thank you mattfrombann.  I have looked at her death certificate. She died of TB, but a year earlier she appears to have had a daughter, Eliza Jane who died at 3 days old in the Belfast workhouse.  I suspect this was my missing Eliza Jane born in 1865.  She was a millworker.
