Im looking for the burial place of.....
Jane Dicks who died at the Union Workhouse Leicester 1891

Would be grateful if anyone could help x

Welford Road cemetery seems nearest to the workhouse on a map, less than 2 miles.

It might be worth asking Leicester Archives if this was the cemetery for the workhouse, if not which one.

I read the article, that's how I found she had died at the workhouse....That was a sad story to read

[swampinstein]

Seems she was buried with her husband
Not sure who the others are.....must be a paupers grave

with this info, you have given me williams death date, I couldn't find that

Really sad article, not used to burials being related so far apart so a bonus!
