Hamilton Poorhouse Lanarkshire

Post by mcblondie » Tue Feb 06, 2007 9:51 pm

Hi everyone,

Me again... Can anyone tell me where I can find a record of names for the Hamilton Poorhouse, on finding a death cert for Robert Young (g.g.g.g.grandfather) it turns out he died in the poorhouse 1891. Is there anyway i can search for his record?

Much appreciated

Katie

Hi Katie,

See http://users.ox.ac.uk/~peter/workhouse/

There are some records held in the Mitchell Library, but maybe not the years you are looking for.

The Mitchell Library, 210 North Street, Glasgow G3 7DN, Scotland. Holdings include Poorhouse book (1912-60).


All the best,

AndrewP
