Nantwich Workhouse
« on: Sunday 18 November 07 17:12 GMT (UK) »
Hi

Does anyone have access to the Nantwich Workhouse Records? I have found 2 of my ancestors on the 1881 census living in the workhouse but can't find them on the 1891 & 1901 census... i would like to find out what happened to them....

Thanks
