The marriage cert doesn't' say they were in the workhouse just that John was a pauper
https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/marriage_returns/marriages_1873/11271/8133948.pdf

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

ok, I realise that the marriage cert doesn't say that.  She was listed as at workhouse for the other births also (1874 and twins in 1877)

Thanks for helping.

Was it a workhouse then or a hospital?

SR District/Reg Area - Bailieborough

Marriage of JOHN REILLY and MARY MACKEN on 04 June 1873

https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/marriage_returns/marriages_1873/11271/8133948.pdf

both Paupers!

So not Medical Staff which might have explained move to Drogheda!

Sorry, not sure what you mean.  Are you saying he would be sent to Drogheda for medical treatment rather than hospital at the Bailieboro Workhouse?

so it says John deceased Drogheda.
Not Drogheda workhouse.
Right, but the informant was the Chief Res. Officer of the Workhouse

Sorry, I should have said.  On the various bits I have gathered, they are paupers and labourers.  I am new at this.  I assumed, maybe wrongly, that the lived at the workhouse.

It looks to me like the couple lived in Bailieboro, got married, didn't have much so Mary, as many women did, goes to the workhouse to give birth, a midwife at home would have expected payment, John doing his best to provide for his family had to move around sometimes to find work and sadly died while working in Drogheda.
It's also possible he would have gone to the workhouse if he was ill before he died, if there was no room in Bailieboro he may have been sent to Drogheda, but if that was the case I would expect it would say of Bailieboro on the death cert.
