Magdalene Asylum

[ascot123]

Just discovered that a relative died in the Asylum in 1914.
Is she likely to have been buried in the Magdalene graveyard? How can I find out.

I cannot find a birth registration her child as I dearly want to know what happened to him/her.
I assume it would have been registered under her surname.

Can anyone help or suggest how I find out burial site and birth, please?
Many thanks

If you can give us the Surname and an idea when the child was born perhaps we can help find the birth cert, have you tried searching for Unknown and the surname often children were registered without a first name.

Thanks for the replies.

I had a look at all the sites listed before posting.
Not listed on grave site, probably not even got a marked grave as she was an inmate! Still shocked at finding my Great Aunt ended up there.

Rose Anne Nixon died in Magdalene Asylum Galway in1914, listed as 35 actually 33 as she born in 1881.
Cannot find any B or D listing for child Nixon in Galway or anywhere else in Ireland around poss. time.

Is this her working in the laundry in 1911 if so the baby was likely born before 1911

It's also possible the baby was born before she was sent to the laundry.
