Born in the Workhouse?
« on: Saturday 10 October 09 14:38 UTC (UK) »
"In 1904, the Registrar General advised local registration officers that where a child was born in the workhouse, there should be no longer be any indication of this on the child's birth certificate.  Instead, the place of birth was to be recorded as a euphemistic street address."

Useful Geoff, but remember that into at least the 1960s babies were still being born in former workhouses in many areas. By then though they were usually known as maternity units.
