	If they were in the workhouse when the census was taken, they should be listed as usual, although sometimes only by their initaials. Try www.workhouses.org.uk This website has details of workhouses all over the country and lists what records still exist and where they are held. I've found several relatives in the records at county records offices, both inmates and staff. Andy
