1901 Leigh Union Workhouse

[Fibrokitty]

Does anyone know if theres a 1901 census of the Leigh Union Workhouse in Atherton/Leigh?
Ive found an old family history site where they stated its been transcribed but ive tried searching on Ancestry and FindMyPast and i cannot find it, even going the route of the address!
Thankyou!

Who are you looking for?  Census searches are mainly by name but only FindMyPast allow a census search by address for the 1901

I have Heaton relatives who seemed to be linked to there, a child died there in 1901 just before the census, but in the 1901 or 1911 census i cant find Thomas Heaton (b 1857) or Mary A Heaton (b 1858), their other children in the 1901 were dotted around family bar the one who died in the Workhouse. Come 1936 dad Thomas Heaton died in THAT workhouse too, ive been unable to find him in 1901,1911 and 1921.

Ive found mum Mary in 1921 with her daughter but then no death that seems to match with her.

So basically id like to scroll through the 1901 Union Workhouse census just incase theres been an error in the transcribing

Where were Thomas & Mary born?  What was her maiden name?  When & where did they marry? 

No Thomas Heaton birth in Leigh 1856-1858 on freebmd

Was the child who died pre 1901 census Lilian aged 14?

Is the daughter you mention Mary Ann Young? 

Sorry bit in the dark here but if you can provide more detailed information for us happy to search further.

Thomas was born in Wigan 1857, retired coal Hewer on his death cert at 702 leigh road which is the workhouse.

His wife was Mary Ann Buckley born 1858 in Oldham ( shes/ the buckley side has been a struggle on their own to figure out over the years!) i found her in the 1921 census but lost her in the 1901 and 1911 with Thomas.

They married in 1877 in Ashton in Makerfield, Wigan.
