Some advice needed please.
GRO death certificate for Edward Heins, aged 55, unmarried, died 26th August 1897.
Superintendent Registrar's District of Poplar
Registrar's Sub-District of Bromley in the County of London.
He died from sarcoma of Kidney in the City Infirmary.
He was a commercial clerk of 30 Harp Alley, City.
Could somebody please advise me if the place he died would have been the Infirmary attached to the City of London Workhouse OR the London Hospital (Royal London)?
I don't understand why he might have died in the infirmary of the workhouse, when he had an address of 30 Harp Alley.
In the 1891 census he was a clerk, living in Victoria House in Whitechapel.
In the 1861 and 1871 census he was living in Glasgow with his mother's family.
In the 1881 census he was still in Glasgow and his widowed mother was with him.
Edward was born in Hamburg, Germany about 1843, his father was German and his mother was Scottish. His parents were married in Liverpool (St Peter's) in 1840.
Any advice about his place of death or burial would be appreciated.

I googled the 1906 Report of the Medical Officer of Health for Borough of Southwark.
City Infirmary is listed separately to the workhouse infirmaries.

Thank you jonw65.
Strange that he gave his aunt Mrs Inglis in Glasgow as his only known relative as his mother was still alive and living on the Isle of Mull until she died in 1901.

Ah, it does say Glasgow in the address for the aunt. 322 looks like North something Glasgow!
Edward was buried 30 August 1897 at the City of London Cemetery, Little Ilford. That's Manor Park.
Can see it here (this may be slow!). Double click to get saveable image.

Thank you John.
North Woodside Road in Glasgow was where his aunt lived.
