Berwick Upon Tweed Workhouse Records?

[Sherlock84]

Hi,
Does anyone know if there's any Berwick Upon Tweed Workhouse records available to look at online?.   As I have just found that my great nana and her siblings were put in the workhouse when they were children according to newspapers after their parents neglected them (I know they were in there in 1901 and 1905).

Thanks
Becky

Looks like any existing workhouse records are held by the Berwick-upon-Tweed Record Office.

This will be the family in the 1901 Census.
It gives the address as 44 Walkergate Lane which is the church they belonged to.
Hoping it would also give something on the workhouse, but unfortunately not

Berwick Workhouse has correspondence with central Poor Law  Board  available online From The National Archives. Several individual inmates are mentioned in the correspondence which was transcribed by volunteers from Berwick a few years ago. Currently you can even download it free of charge! Look under MH 12.

The MH 12 correspondence for Berwick, like most poor-law unions, unfortunately doesn't survive after about 1900. An email to the record office is the way to go, as suggested above.
