Cardiff Workhouse

[stepo1]

I am looking for information regarding Cardiff Workhouse (1943)

My mother was born there in September 1943 and subsequently adopted approx March 1944 but not sure if she was at the workhouse for the 6 month period - how can I find if she was indeed there for the six months . Unable to locate patient information for that period.

Thanks

Sarah

Just to say that Workhouses, and Boards of Guardians, legally ceased to exist on Monday 31st March 1930. In 1930, control of the site passed to Cardiff City Council and the workhouse became City Lodge Public Assistance Institution.

Thanks for that - does that mean I can get further info by contacting CCC ?

You could contact Glamorgan Archives to see what records they have http://www.glamarchives.gov.uk/
