Killmallock Workhouse
« on: Thursday 31 July 08 17:16 UTC (UK) »
My grandfather and great grandmother both died in Killmallock Workhouse in 1903.  Is there any way I can find out if any other members of their family were living there at that time or was it just used as a type of hospital for the poor.

The workhouses would have kept records of those who entered but not sure where the records you need are or if the cover the period you need. Might be in National Archives, Dublin or other archives.
These records seem to be too early:

This ste has a photo and mentions a little of its history. Perhaps you could contact them for help:

Thank you so much for taking the time to reply,  I will follow the links you have sent and maybe one day travel to Dublin to search the records there as you suggest.

Kind regards  Pat

I didn't say the records (if they exist) are anywhere in Dublin just that National Archives is a possibility. If you contat he last link I posted or the local library you might get details of where (if anywhere) the records might be.
