could someone please look up the following birth for me?

Henry William Branton born 26th Sept 1856 at the Shoreditch Workhouse. It lists Harriet Branton as the mother. No father listed. Could someone see if there is any other details about this event - mother's age for eg? The birth and the mother's residence are both listed as the Shoreditch Workhouse. ANY other information would be greatly welcomed!

Thank you in advance.
Jo

Did you know that you can check the catalogue online?

The title is Shoreditch Board of Guardians. Catalogue Ref. SHBG

I had a quick look but didn't spot any relevant surviving documents. You'll obviously want to check for yourself.
