Hello,

Lancashire BMD only has a birth for 1875 (mother Walsh) and 1881 only has the one you have in the workhouse so it does look as though it is the same one.
His birth certificate would give you his mother's name.

Just checked the full list of inmates in Oldham workhouse in 1881 on www.workhouses.org.uk and their were only two other people by the name of Walsh, both female and both probably too old to be Abraham's mother.

To answer your other question, from Heywood's reply, it looks as though he might have been illegitimate so that is probably why he has ended up in the workhouse.

Is there a father's name on his marriage certificate?

Have you found him in 1891?
