I knew that workhouse wasn't situated where you might expect, but coudn't remember where it was, so I looked for the death registrations of the other people who died 22/23 Feb (same workhouse page as Matilda) which led me to Shoreditch district.... Then it was easy!

Two attempts at indexing on FreeBMD:

Deaths Mar 1869

Ehu Matilda 64 Shoreditch 1c 105
Elm Matilda 64 Shoreditch 1c 105

The index pages attached to FreeBMD show the entry was originally indexed twice by the GRO, but the new GRO search facility only has the entry as Elm (as far as I could see, anyway!):

ELM, MATILDA
64
GRO Reference: 1869 M Quarter in SHOREDITCH Volume 01C Page 105
