When I read about Workhouses it states that the boys and men were in one area and the women and girls are in another area in the workhouses. I did ask my mom about her Aunt and she called her Auntie Anne. I tried to go on line to census looking for Ann Taylor or Anne Taylor or Mary Ann Taylor without success. Apparently she was younger than my grandad who was born Dec 12 1891 but registered in 1892.
I do hope this information is what you need. Thank you so much for replying to my inquiry. All my life I thought my grandad and his siblings were put into a orphanage but when I received my great grandmothers death certificate I realized she was in the Petworth Workhouse as well with her three children. Thank you again for helping me.
Most Sincerely
Jennifer
