Coventry workhouse and burial records
« on: Monday 26 November 18 02:18 GMT (UK) »
Hello

I'm looking for my grandmother, Isabella Walker (nee McDonnell).  She was released from Hatton asylum and sent to "the workhouse' on 4 sept 1913.  I also cannot find her burial records.   She is NOT buried at the asylum.

Any help would be appreciated.   If I've posted this in the wrong place,  please let me know.

Thank you so much.

Hello
Can you give us a bit more information to go on ie when Isabella was born, married. It might help to locate her.
