Does anyone on the list know? > Phyllis, There is a ''Poorhouse'' website as follows..: http:users.ox.ac.uk/~peter/workhouse/index.html You will find an interesting account of our Workhouses. It lets you know about the Glasgow Workhouses, where they were situated and how they were run etc. As you heard in another email the lists of inmates was being transcribed. There were partly finished lists for Barony and Govan I tried to open the Barony list tonight ..unsuccessfully. ..I have been on the site a long time ago. However give it another try in 24 hours or so. The address is as follows: http://users.ox.ac.uk/~peter/workhouse/Barony/Barony.html If the actual lists have moved on to the Mitchelllibrary.org/ site......and at least you can ask where the workhouse lists are kept nowadays??!! Best I can do...Good Luck....Moira
