If you want to give the name, date of birth and when they died we can see if there are any records. Some records were quite detailed... can't promise anything but might be worth a look :-)

If they had no living relative then workhouses had their own burial grounds

If they had a relative then they would make the arrangements for the burial and this could be in public grave in the cemetery of choice .

If they died in the workhorse hospital it didn't mean they were in the workhouse
. The hospital was used by folks who couldn't afford to pay for treatment . Sometimes it was for a birth that needed hospital care as well as folks who were sick or needed an operation

Can anyone suggest where an inmate of the above workhouse would have been buried?
