Newcastle Union Workhouse 1841

[davidjmillward]

Think I have found 'my' Edward & Ann Milward here on 1841 Census aged 70

What records are held and where can I access them?

[Peter Goodey]

Records will be at Tyne & Wear Archives. There doesn't look as if much has survived for that period.

This document contains a summary of their holdings...

Page 8 seems to be the one ;)

For background to the workhouse, don't forget http://www.workhouses.org.uk/index.htm :) Just put Newcastle in the search box.

Best wishes

I found Edward's death certificate. Death registered by the Master of the Union Workhouse.

Question is, where would he be buried if he died in their care?

Tyne & Wear Archive Services have some data - is there anyone researching there presently who might have a look for me?
