Workhouse in Brighton

[Chrissy]

Hi There

Would anyone have any information on the Workhouse in Brighton. Information as to where it was whether or not it was also a hospital and where one would begin locating available records.

Looking for Alfred Sweatman who died there in 1875.

Desperately needing enlightenment.

Hi Chrissy - the following site may help you.

Go to that site and then click on the Poor Law button and it gives a list of where workhouse records are kept.

I'd put http://www.workhouses.org.uk/ as the starting point for any investigation into workhouse sources.

I can't help much except to advise that I do have a Death Certificate fro a relative of mine who died in said Workhouse in 1896. The only information I can give is that at that time the Master is shown as a Valentine Burden.
