My three times great gran was born and spent her early years in Leek Workhouse, left to go into service, married etc, and lied on every census about her birthplace, only found out when someone found her in 1841 as a 4 yr old in Leek Workhouse.
Just got her death cert today, she died in Oldham Workhouse aged 65, felt sad that she still could not escape the stigma of the Workhouse no matter how hard she tried.
I know the Workhouse was often used as a hospital, but still of all the places for her to die.
Really sad
