Hi I can only confirm that 449 Rochdale Road was the Oldham Workhouse - now Oldham Royal Infirmary, as this was where my Greatx2 Grandmother died. Oldham Local Studies looked up the records for me, and advised that she was in the infirmary side and gave me details of the date she was admitted, what was wrong with her, and her last meal. I live in Manchester and Rochdale Road is a very long road, which runs through many districts on the north side of town, Crumpsall being one. I have found on death certificates that instead of writing what the institution actually was, they seem to write an address, e.g. 31 Green Lane was Bridgewater Hospital, etc. It might be worth emailing Manchester Local Studies to see if they know what 172 Rochdale Road was?

In 1881 was it an infirmary or a workhouse? I will Google to see if I can find any other information, This list as always is a mine of information, Thanks, Fran from not so sunny Coffs Harbour Australia ----- Original Message ----- From: "VIVIEN ENGLAND" To: Sent: Thursday, July 24, 2008 4:02 AM Subject: Re: [ENG-MAN] 1891 & 1902 lookup please > Hi > > I know 449 Rochdale Road was Oldham Workhouse, now Oldham Royal > Infirmary.
