    Default Coventry Workhouse.

    Hi everyone. I'm looking for any records of my nan and her brother in a Coventry workhouse. It would have been at the end of 1914. Mother's name Eliza( Liza) Gray. Children Amy Elizabeth Gray born 3/4/1911 and her brother William 1913/4. I'd like to find the list of their time on the workhouse. According to my mum ( now deseased) the kids were taken out not long after but I'd like to know how long and where. Thenkyou. Regards Jools

    Have you contacted the Records Office for the Area they lived in they have records. I had a question for family in Warkshire a death from drowning in the river at Lemington Spar. I live to far to travel so I rang them up said I lived to far If they hadent got the records, told her every thing I had she rang me back yes they had the records. Next day I took the bus then the Train got all the infomation and lots moore infomation all the children where put in the workhouse.
