Withington Workhouse records

I wondered if someone could look up any Withington Workhouse records for me for an ancestor who died there. His name was James Taylor Christened 1/4/1812 and died 16/6/1873. I'm not sure what workhouse records can be accessed but any information would be amazing. He may well have been there for a while as he may have been an alcoholic or mentally vulnerable. Where might he be buried as I cannot find a record in Southern Cemetery. Thank you.

One of the images on FindMyPast says that he was from Ardwick and is buried in Ardwick Cemetery - died 17 June 1873, aged 63. Another version says he is 64.
Transcriptions and NBI are merely finding aids. They are NOT a substitute for original record entries.

Hi BumbleB, thank you for that.
The rest of the family did live in Ardwick but had moved away by the 1850/60's. His death date I found from probate records which said he died at the Withington Workhouse but they could be wrong as the entry was 20 years after his death. There are sadly a few James Taylors in Ardwick but that death date is pretty close.
Thank you for your time.

Thank you Bumble B. At a guess the Ardwick one is most likely as his sister was buried there even though she lived in Whitefield.
