Here's a good site for workhouses: http://www.workhouses.org.uk/

I don't see Hanwell on the list, but I did find my gt grandmother there in the 1901 census. She was institutionalized after she gave birth to my grandmother because she "wandered off and left the baby". She's described as a "lunatic." You can write and ask for the records, which I haven't done yet. She was there for 20 years before she died, so it was a pretty sad story. Wikipedia has an article about the place if you want more information .

  I am sorry I have not got back to you sooner.
  Thank you all so much for your help and the lookups you did for me,  The records I now have re: Hanwell are very hard to read, but the admission & discharge dates looks like
 from  1858  to 1862
