Post by: janeann1966 on Thursday 03 May 12 17:00 BST (UK)

Hi would anyone know if someone died at Greenwich & District hospital as an inmate in 1891 does that mean it was a workhouse and is there a free site I can look at the list of inmates please Thanks

I think the inmates were Royal Navy & Marine pensioners, although don't quote me on that.

This doesn't go quite as far as 1891.

That would be the workhouse infirmary then http://www.workhouses.org.uk/Greenwich/

I am not aware of any free records online for the infirmary apart from some census indexes ............. who are you looking for?
