Cheshire / Walton Workhouse?
« on: Tuesday 02 April 24 15:09 BST (UK) »
I've just got a death cert for Thomas Dunbobbin, who died aged 4 months at "Workhouse Walton" on 6 Oct 1874. It's in Runcorn RD.
I did not know of a workhouse in Lower Walton or Higher Walton. I know about the one at Dutton. but that is some distance away. workhouses.org only shows the Dutton one.
The informant, "M A Holdcroft" doesn't seem to be around in 1871 or 1881. That's unfortunate because they gave their address as "Workhouse Walton" too.
Anyone know where this workhouse was?
