Would a workhouse in 1919 have had the facilities to care for a newborn baby without its parents being admitted there - eg if the baby had been abandonned? Or would the baby have gone to some other sort of institution?
And if a baby was in a workhouse at that time is it feasible that a worker for the local Poor Relief could arrange for the baby to be taken in by a member of his/her own family?
Thanks
