Hi CeroChick.
The workhouse was what is now St Mary's Hospital on the London Road.
http://www.workhouses.org.uk/ Just type Kettering in the search.
He would more than likely be buried in London Road Cemetery.
You can contact the Kettering Cemetery Office and ask for assistance
with finding the actual location.

My two gorgeous grandsons

My oldest son was born there too in Jan 1977- the maternity hospital was late in opening and didn't start taking patients till Easter 77.
I can well believe that was the workhouse- it hadn't changed much 
24 of us to a ward- half post natal and half antenatal-including two girls whose babies had been stillborn- horrible place

Hi Carol. 
Cerochick you are welcome.
Luckily I was born when you still had your babies at home,
else it would have been the same place for me.
My own great grandparents/grand-parents were buried in
London Road having moved to Kettering in the 1890's.
