Burial at Bridgewater Workhouse

[alan w jones]

Hello , I have just discovered the a great aunt of mine was buried on September 4th 1912 at Bridgewater Workhouse . I wondered if anyone knew the location of the graveyard and would it still be there today after all the redevelopment and were the interned moved ?

Alan,

Somerset Heritage Centre in Taunton hold a large repository including I believe the admissions and discharges for the workhouse in Brigwater,perhaps an email or phone call to them asking if they hold any burial records might be a staring point.

Was the death registered at Bridgwater Workhouse? The Workhouse may have not have had a burial ground, only a few workhouses had one.

Is this - Prout (female)? If so  I think you will find that the burial was at Bridgwater St. Mary, the entry is in the parish burial register. Her abode, where she died, was the Union Hospital, and where her death was registered. The margin of the register shows the plots in the graveyard where people were buried, and hers shows a "P" for pauper.
