Don't know if this could be any use, but if you go to the workhouses site at www.workhouses.org and put West Ham into the search box on there, then scroll down the page that comes up until you find a piece about Whipp's Cross Hospital - it sounds as if that could be the sort of place she might have been put into. |

I don't think she would have been put in Whipps Cross but just down the road from Whipps there was an asylum called Leytonstone House. If she was mentally handicapped she may have gone there as an adult. |

try free bmd to find out if she has died. With that name it shouldn't be hard to find. But bmd hasn't got all the records so don't take it for granted. |
