The Teesdale Union Workhouse was situated in Barnard Castle. See A-Z of workhouses ar _www.workhouses.org.uk_ (http://www.workhouses.org.uk) . ( But no records of folk.) In the main, the normal BMD and Census and Church records contained details of workhouse inmates. (The appropriate County Record Offices hold a variety of records on people, e.g. date od admission, reason, etc) Michael
