Any help is much appreciated, thank you.

Taking this as a probable example: ‘Location of Pauper’ and ‘From what Ward Discharged’.

Probably O. Sheds = Oakum Sheds (the outhouses where oakum was picked).

JenB is more or less correct.

The three headings are:
Where Located
Date of Discharge
From What Ward Discharged.

This was in Liverpool. I tried looking at this link: https://www.workhouses.org.uk/Liverpool/

There is a map of wards from c. 1864 on it, as this is from 1868 I hoped that I might recognise something, but no luck yet.

Thank you, Bookbox! I think you are right here! Thanks for the explanation too.

Must admit, Carole, I see BUILDING there as well, but that seems rather vague for a workhouse?
