Just in case Boo has gone to bed .. The workhouse records are at Tyne and Wear Archives. There isn't a great deal of information in some of these earlier records for Tynemouth - entries became better for information and more methodical around early 1900s onwards. Burial record might reveal if someone was an inmate or not. Relatives might have paid for death notice so not unusual that there was one.
I have an ancestor who went in the Tynemouth workhouse for treatment after she was attacked. I have also come across others too who went in for treatment rather because of destitution.
