Have you tried ... http://www.workhouses.org.uk/ From the left hand menu select (in order!) ... "Workhouse Locations" "English Poor Law Unions" "Lancashire" "Manchester" It provides historical maps, descriptions based on comtemporary accounts, historical line drawings, black/white photographs, present day photographs and ... right at the end, links to finding info about staff, inmates, locations of remaining records and ideas for further reading. From my (limited) experience, very few records remain other than censuses. However, follow some of the links and see what *is* available and you might be lucky :-) Hope this helps Heather Roy and Betty Mullett wrote: > Hi Lee > If you are talking about the Crumpsall workhouse you use to be able to email > the Manchester County Council and they knew there. > http://www.manchester.gov.uk/libraries/arls/ Mind you it is a few years > since I inquired about my Grandfather but then they were most helpful.

The Workhouse site is wonderful and gives you a great deal of information on life there and the conditions but it will not give any personal information such as discharge, etc. Betty Canada ----- Original Message ----- From: "The Quineys" <pquiney@post.com> To: <eng-manchester@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, July 01, 2008 3:08 PM Subject: Re: [ENG-MAN] Manchester Workhouse Market St > Have you tried ... > http://www.workhouses.org.uk/ > From the left hand menu select (in order!) ... > "Workhouse Locations" > "English Poor Law Unions" > "Lancashire" > "Manchester" > > It provides historical maps, descriptions based on comtemporary > accounts, historical line drawings, black/white photographs, present day > photographs and ... right at the end, links to finding info about staff, > inmates, locations of remaining records and ideas for further reading. > > From my (limited) experience, very few records remain other than > censuses.
