Default London Workhouse Admission & Discharge Records, 1738-1930 - ancestry

http://search.ancestry.co.uk/search/db.aspx?dbid=60391

It seems to be mostly Westminster, Holborn, Camden and City and predominantly post 1850 as far as I can tell.

Thank you for posting that Asa.
I have just found my great grandfather and one of his sisters in different workhouses and at different times. More investigation needed I think

I've just found my great great grandmother with her parents in 1860 - such a bonus as they're missing in 1861 and I have no birth record or baptism for her

This is what I've been waiting for! Time to renew the Ancestry sub, I think

Helps to have an unusual name to research, I knew Beville de Rosa Wimberley died in Surrey (he had a fish and chip shop near Victoria Station), turns out he was in the workhouse for a month before being discharged to an asylum in Surrey.

Found a few more missing pieces of the jigsaw. Hooray!
I don't usually get emotional over anything to do with my rellies but did feel sad when I found father and 3 children aged 12, 9 and 5 being admitted together in 1864 and described as 'destitute'.

Thanks, Asa

I've just found ex's gt x 4 grandfather in 1860 in Westminster Workhouse. He was only there 2 days when he was transferred. I know he was in the Strand Union Workhouse on 1861 census.
