Workhouse deaths in 1890's

Started by: agertsch (165) 

If someone was in a Workhouse at the time of their death in about 1898, would they have been buried in a certain location owned by the workhouse? Her husband in the Ince Cemetery but I can not find his first wife and the mother of his children anywhere.

Any help is appreciated~ Arlene

Thank You Winnie,

Her name was Lavinia Howarth Hey and she was married to a James William Hey, she died in 1898 in a Workhouse, so we were told. James went on to marry a woman, Mary Elizabeth Norman and they both passes away in the 1930's ear;y 1940's. Just haven't been able to locate Lavinia anywhere. Thank you~
