Eliza was an inmate in the workhouse at woolwich road, Greenwich on the 1911 census. Her age is given, incorrectly, as 69. Does anyone have any further info. Please regarding her admission, discharge, condition etc etc.? I know she died in 1915, but don't know whether this was in the workhouse or elsewhere. Many thanks in advance for any help.

Many, many thanks for your help. I have her 'in memorium' card, which my grandfather kept, as she was my great great grandmother. The date of death is the same. From the card I know she was buried in brockley cemetery. Rather a sad end.....
