Have you looked at the image? Does it say Servant or Inmate? Workhouses were also used as hospitals as well as places for the poor. |

don't forget that birth years on a census are just estimates .......... the actual census asked for a person's age on census night |

Janet, I have a little personal knowledge of the Rowditch area of Derby, which may be of interest, in you search. |

Looking at the 1901 image she is on the first page for the workhouse and is in the 'middle' of the staff listing....So employed there rather than an inmate. |

Janet, it is worth having a Google for the Union Workhouse. Just had a quick look, and there is information. Got to go out now, but will look in later. |
