Corpse Register

[IONICUS]

I've come across a note in a workhouse Burial Book saying 'See Corpse Register', in the Cause of Death column. Where can I find the corpse register? Is there a repository
somewhere for these books?

You haven’t given details of which WH or the dates involved?  Any such register would be specific to that particular WH

[IONICUS]

It's St George-In-The-East Infirmary, not as I first thought, the workhouse.
The date in the Burial Register is 15 May 1891 and is for twins, Margaret and Ellen Springett.

Doesn't appear to be any records online.  If you want to know the cause of death you would need to buy their death certs. 

Their births & deaths were registered in the June qtr 1891

Thank you. I have the birth certificates but wondered what a corpse register looked like and if it contained information in addition to the cause of death.
