Plymouth workhouse
« on: Sunday 13 January 19 16:32 GMT (UK) »
I believe my 2x Gt Grandmother could have been in Plymouth workhouse in the 1900s. Does anyone know:
  • When it closed
  • Where people might have been discharged to locally, if still unable to subsist?

If you are getting the information from BMD certificates that she was there don't forget that people used the workhouse hospitals even though they may not have been permanently resident there

Any clues on earlier census, or 1911?
