I have looked at the record again and it says From: WMCH  Length of time in Workhouse: 3 days. Could this be West Middlesex County Hospital?

Yes, see here

The records are at The London Archives in the collection West Middlesex University Hospital and Associated Hospitals (series H 36), but they are closed to public access for the period you need.

You can ask the archivists to search them and extract anything found. Their charges are quite high (£86.00/hour), so you may find it cheaper to engage an independent researcher to visit the archive on your behalf. But contact the archive first to check the procedure.

This will tell you about the history of WMCH, at one point it incorporated the old workhouse
