I would really appreciate finding any workhouse related records for my 2x Great Grandfather's stay at Hallburn Workhouse where he died on 20th November 1904.
In particular, I am trying to find out how long he was in the workhouse.
He was living as a boarder at Ullermire, Hethersgill, Kirklinton in the 1901 census.
His death certificate states cause of death was Senile Decay, Atheroma of artheries, Senile Dementia 1 1/2 months..... so the 1 1/2 months could be a clue.
His name was John Percival, he was 84 when he died, formerly a stone mason of Smithfield, Kirklinton.
Many many thanks to whoever is kind enough to take the time....I would really appreciate a copy of any register entry relating to John.

The records for the Longtown (Hallburn) Workhouse are very sparse and mainly refer to administrative matters after the First World War. There are no admission registers extant and only a couple or so records referring to individuals survive. Sorry, but I can't think of any other records that could help you.
