Sandra, Yes, it's St Luke's parish workhouse, later taken over by the Holborn Union. http://www.workhouses.org.uk/StLuke/ As far as I can see from the LMA catalogue, there are no useful records from the 1820s, and certainly no register of births. If you tell us what you're trying to find out, maybe someone will be able to suggest a different line of enquiry? HTH Judy London, UK -----Original Message----- From: london-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:london-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Sandra Van Able According to the 1851 London map, there is a workhouse between Edward Street and City Road. Was this City Road Workhouse in 1825? Are there any birth records from this time? Did it become St Luke's Workhouse? Thanking you advance, Sandra
