Llanwnog Workhouse
« on: Thursday 13 December 07 16:52 GMT (UK) »
Where's the best place to find more info re "inmates"?  A distant relative was born there in 1851.

Thanks

this is a good site for workhouse info as it gives whereabouts of records
http://users.ox.ac.uk/~peter/workhouse/index.html

but you need to look under Montgomeryshire, not Monmouthshire, and it's the Newtown and Llanidloes Union. The surviving records are in the Powys archives.

Thanks for this - I must have had a rush of blood to the head when I wrote Monmouthshire!!

Looks like I'll have to visit the Powys records office.
