Workhouse deaths

[Colin Rowledge]

Upon checking the Parish Register for St. Marylebone, I have found that a person died November 21, 1907. The cause of death was stated so presumably he was treated at the infirmary there. The cause was Bronchial Asthma.

The register indicates that the body was taken by friends for burial.

Would records exist of who those friends were and where he was to be buried?

I don't know what you're looking at. Are you sure you mean Parish Register?

The infirmary discharge register usually identifies the friends who took charge of the body but what they did with it would be their business.

The record was the Register of Deaths in Saint Marylebone Workhouse. It was a hand written register compiled by the Master of the Workhouse -

I don't believe that this is actually the Infirmary Discharge Register as there is no indication as to whom the friends were that took charge of the body, so if such a register exists, where is it likely to be held - the LMA?

The record was the Register of Deaths in Saint Marylebone Workhouse.

So, not a parish register.

Is this on Ancestry, if so what database does it come under?

Admission and Discharge Registers are under London, England, Poor Law Records, 1517-1973. The borough is Westminster.
