anyone going to the record office ? ie gainsborough workhouse inmate 1891

[matilda1973]

Hi
 i know my g grandmother Matilda Gertrude Gleadell/Gleadle was in the Gainsborough work house for the 1891 census (Gertrude Gleadhill age 10). and was married and living  in Halifax by the 1901 census (Gertrude Webster age 20). i would love to know when she went in how long she stayed in there and  when and how she left and ended up in halifax. i wondered if anyone had access to the workhouse records to see what it says (if anything). Her Mum Emma Died 1877 and she was never married.
                     many thanks

I think Rosie has said that they are at the record Office, so no, not online.

If you are wanting to see if anyone can go for you, then it might be an idea to change the heading to reflect that e.g "Anyone going to Lincolnshire Archives"

Or you may contact the Archives yourself and see if they will look things up (possibly at a cost - wading through workhouse records can be a lengthy process!)

Or - why not a nice holiday in Lincolnshire sometime?
