Ashby-de-la-Zouch Union Workhouse
« on: Thursday 21 April 05 00:09 BST (UK) »
My GGG grandmother, Eliza Holden, died in the Ashby Union Workhouse in 1890.   Cry

What I am interested in is finding out what other info I get from this.  Are there, for example, records of when people arrived or anything that could be useful in finding out more about Eliza and her family?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

  Damian

Hi there,
Have a look at the following site and click on records---it tells you what records have survived and are held at the archives:

Me neither, but there is also some info here, on the Rosbrett site: http://www.institutions.org.uk/workhouses/england/leics/ashby_de_la_zouch_workhouse.htm


try it through this address: http://www.workhouses.org.uk/index.htm
it also leads to Peter Higginbotham's http://users.ox.ac/~peter/workhouse/ site

PS just trying http://users.ox.ac/~peter/workhouse/
and it sometimes does "Server not found"
and sometimes does a re-direct to http://www.workhouses.org.uk/index.htm
