I've always assumed that Birth and Death certificates where the district states ....Union, eg Stepney Union, Poplar Union, means that the event took place in the respective Workhouse. I have just received one such certificate registered by Stepney Union but the place of death is the person's home address.
Was I wrong in my assumption or is it that this last certificate suggests that the subject died whilst receiving medical care under the aegis of the local Poor Law Guardians?
