Hi Gill
One of my g.aunts died in Hull Workhouse aged 13 of Cardiac Dropsy, in October 1903. She was an orphan, her younger brother had been put into a children's home in Hull (but there is no record of her having gone there) and her older brothers went into the army, her older sisters lived locally, so I'm assuming it was the hospital where she died and not the workhouse as such. Indeed she was one of the witnesses at her eldest sister's wedding 5 months earlier, which makes me think she didn't live in the workhouse. Unfortunately there is no other info available as to where she lived after the 1901 census and prior to her death.
Her death certificate just states Hull Workhouse, her married sister was the informant but it doesn't state she was present at her death.
If you go to www.hullcc.gov.uk/ then click on Family History on the left hand side of the home page, then go down the family history page, you will find a database called Photographs of Hull. On there are photos of the workhouse. I have bought copies of them, but copyright stops me putting them on here.

Sorry, there are only 2 small pics of the workhouse on the Hull CC site and it suggests they might be a hospital. I have the photographs of the workhouse from another site, I'll try to find it.

Hi
As I understand it, 160 Beverley Road was the address of the Sculcoates Union Workhouse, and anybody that died in there, unless buried by relatives, were buried in a section of the cemetery on Sculcoates Lane (north side), 3 people to a grave

Is that cemetery on Sculcoates Lane still there and would it be possible to find out if a ancestor had been buried there? I know another cemetery where another branch of the family were probably buried was badly damaged during the war and now, apparently, has a main road running over it.

Hi Lizzie
Yes, the cemetery is still there, but it's rather overgrown, or it was when I was last there about 2 years ago.
The East Yorkshire FHS have done the MI's for the cemetery and I know that there is a copy in the local studies section of the Central Library in Hull because I've had a look through it.
If you give some names, I can have a look next time I'm in Hull.
Cemetery with a main road running over it? I assume that's the one on Castle Street near the marina, though some of it still exists.

Hi Bee
My g.aunt was called Selina Benson. She died 27 October 1903 aged 13 at Hull Workhouse. Her father died in 1893 (in 1891 they were in Havelock Street, Newington) and her mother in 1901 when she was living in Tichborne Terrace, Bean Street, so not in the workhouse, so I don't know where they would have been buried and maybe their daughter is in a grave with them somewhere.
The other cemetery I was talking about is one that was near Hessle Road. I don't know Hull at all, I was told that cemetery no longer exists.

I am in a wheelchair at the moment but often drove past sculcoates cemetary, yes it is overgrown and is in a sorry state, a few years ago some volunteers started tidying the place up, sadly to no avail.
I believe the council got permission to 'smarten' the place until the church people found that meant bulldozing the stones, fortunately that was stopped.
The cemetary is next to a Tannary factory, the smell is gut wrenching at times, personaly I think thats its salvation!
What is special about Sculcoates is the art work on the graves, One I am particular that comes to mind is the NEWMARCH headstone, the names of all the battlefields the military bag, sword, rifle and even his hat to name a few.( I think its the Peninsular war)
Another is a carving of an old fishing smack (and the boats name)giving details of the sailor lost at sea..
Finally rows and rows of small stones with just the poor souls initials on them from the workouse.
In my opinion wellingtons a stick and a camera, are worth the visit, but god, what a smell!

Thanks for the link. I wrote to the Cemeteries dept. about a year ago, but didn't hear anything from the people there. However, I often contact the Hull CC Archives, so will write to them again to ask if they can point me in the right direction.
Antiquarian - You've not sold me on the idea of a trip to Hull, it's a long way from Hampshire.
