Dearnley Workhouse in Rochdale
« on: Thursday 07 April 16 04:30 BST (UK) »
A number of ancestors of mine were inmates of Dearnley Workhouse in Rochdale in between 1890 and 1915.

I am experiencing extreme difficulty in locating records regarding the Workhouse for this period.

Does anyone know if any documentation exists covering these years, and if so where this might be.
