Hello, do you know the date of this photo?

Thank you

That's what I thought, but what the hell is a bacon boner?

My Great Grandmother Lilian WOOD ( was morrison) was born 1905
She died in 1931 in Withington workhouse, Manchester, England.
I have her death certificate which says she died 19th Jan 1931 of Pulmonary TB, in the occupation section on the Death cert it has an address of 84 Burlington Street, Chorlton on medlock and underneath that it says Wife of Robert Wood a Rubber worker. Also on the informant section it says Robert Wood widower of deceased In Attendance 13 Juniper Street. She had only married in the March the year before (1930) and gave birth to my grandfather in the October 1930. There is no record of her burial anywhere apart from on the workhouse death register it said Southern. Now I understand that those that died in the workhouse wer usually buried in the grounds, and I also understand that the graves were dug up at bodies were re interred into Southern cemetery some time in the early 70's.

I have a few questions regarding my Grandmother which I wondered if anybody could help me with.

First Question;

1) My Grandmother had addresses on her death cert? Does this mean she was an actual inmate of the workhouse or do you think she just went there for healthcare?

2) What is the address in the occupation section on her death cert?

3) Where the hell is she now?

If anybody could shed any light onto my Grandmother's mysterious end to her sadly short life that would be fantastic.

Thank you

Aw thank you all for the great answers. Yes I saw that, I wonder if there's a way to find out what he had done to be imprisoned!
