Union Workhouse, Hackney

[keithjd27]

 Greetings Nice People,
        I have just got a copy of my Great great Grandfathers Death Certificate which said
    that he died of Typhus in the Union Workhouse, Hackney on the19th May 1860.
       His name was Samuel Rogers and I would like to know:
           a) Was the Union Workhouse, Hackney the one in Homerton
           b) Where would I find the records for it
           c) What would they have done with his body - I mean Typhus in a place like that!
               if they buried I'd like to know where so I could take some flowers - plus I think
            his wife died in the same place many years later.
            Thank you for your help - Please take care - KInd regards Keith Davies

I think his wife died in the same place many years later.

Was his wife named Jane nee Sanders?

Dear Nice People,
    I just wanted to thank you for your help and insights.
    While reading about the Workhouse made me sad (thanks to CaroleW)
    the other information given to me by JenB and Janw65 cheered me up
    knowing that he is buried in C of L Cem. lighten my heart a bit.
    Ladyhawk's information about also Jane, his wife is what I believe to be true.
    Thanks again for your help
     Please take care  and look after yourselves - Kind Regards - Keith
