Janet...Children were admitted to the "workhouse" alone...they went to the childrens section along with all the other children who had family or not...(those children were separated on admission from their family) |

Thanks for that Shirley. The only thing for me is that these girls were 12 & 14, whereas the child I am looking at was just 7. Would that make a difference do you think? |

I have two children aged 12 & 14 in the workhouse in 1871 but their mum was still alive, she worked as a monthly nurse so wouldnt be able to have the girls with her as she would live in with the new mum for every employment. She did eventually provide a home for them again |
