John Reilly and Mary Reilly nee Macken/Mackin Bailieboro/Bailieborough Workhouse

[Garnethill]

My search shows their marriage in 1873 while they were at the Bailieboro Workhouse and also 3 births of 4 children (twins) while there.  The last birth was 31st March 1880 but it's noted that the father, John was deceased at Drogheda while wife is still showing at Bailieboro Workhouse?

I searched and found a John Reilly deceased at Drogheda Workhouse in December 1879 but age doesn't match and also states he is a Bachelor.

My question is, does anyone know of any reason why someone (the husband only) would move or be moved from Bailieboro Workhouse to the one in Drogheda.  Perhaps there was different medical care or ?

I have all the records for the above information and could post links if allowed.

I am new here and hope my post is correct and in the correct place.  Thanks for any help.

I searched  Marriage results for John Reilly of Bailieboro from 1873 to 1873

No results found on Civil Reg

The marriage cert doesn't' say they were in the workhouse just that John was a pauper

Men and women were separated in the workhouse so it more likely Mary went to the workhouse hospital to give birth each time.

It's more likely Mary never registered John's death, than he moved to Drogheda.

Joseph birth (attached doc) and also

The only John Reilly I could find who died at Drogheda Workhouse (attached doc).

Do you think  this is him? if so, the record of his death has 2 errors, i.e. his age (according to his age at marriage it should be 50) and also the fact that he is listed as a Bachelor?

p.s. Is it better to post the pdf attachments on this Forum or the links to the records please?

so it says John deceased Drogheda.
Not Drogheda workhouse.
