Is it possible to get more information on a dishcharge from the workhouse.

You have helped me a lot this week with my Great Grandmother, Mary Lynn, we have found 2 entries of discharge from 2 workhouses at around the trime and place where I would have probably expected her to be.

Are you able to help me with more information to enable me to establish if this is her please?

19th July 1899 discharged from City road workhouse(St Lukes workhouse)
Borough of Holborn

and

24th March 1922 discharged from Britten St, Old and New workhouses

What I am after, if it is her, is where she was discharged to, and possible why she was in there, any other information would be a bonus.

Researching:
Richards, Jones, Martin,and Potter-Wales. White-UK/Ireland. Lynn-UK/Ireland.

Deborah -

you'd be better to add this to the end of your other thread, to keep all Mary Lynn's details together, and save people maybe researching all the same information over again.

EDIT:

In fact, I've just copied your post over to the other thread.

I see you've already asked the same question on there anyway.

Old genealogists never die.....they just lose their census.
