The Common Room / Actham Workhouse Shrewsbury
« on: Saturday 01 December 18 20:30 GMT (UK) »
I recently posted a request looking for a relative who was born out of wedlock and a reply gave me a connection to a person who may be the one I was looking for.
I sent for the birth certificate and it looks like it was the genuine one as the father wasn't named and the mothers name was correct.
The address where born was 11 Barton St Shrewsbury which when Googled was not found but think it may have been the workhouse would anybody know if it was common practice to send someone to the workhouse to give birth?
Regards
Steve
