A middlesex University Project to list and detail 19th Century use of Asylums and Workhouses

All County Asylums open in 1844 are listed and all Hospitals receiving paupers. Workhouses mentioned in the 1844 report are listed. The table lists all licensed houses receiving paupers in 1844 and shows which were commended and which severely censored in the 1844 Report.

In the 1844 Report, all asylums apart from workhouses are listed, but only some the workhouses with lunatic wards. This was because the Inquiry Commission did not systematically visit workhouses in the way that it did the other asylums.

This is a great site on Workhouses in the UK with lists by country, county, old maps/ pictures and modern photos. A mine of information

Brilliant sites to check out as one of my ancestors was put in Wolverhampton one for up to twenty years as I lost her in the 1901 census.
