Kidderminster workhouse
« on: November 04, 2021, 09:12:34 AM »
I've found out this week that my great great grandmother Celia Tyers MAY have died in a workhouse in or near Kidderminster. In the bits of paperwork that I have my moms aunt stated in her Will that she wished to be buried with Celia. There is a headstone for my moms aunt but no mention of Celia. So I have no idea if they are together in this one grave.
Does anyone know how I can find out if this is the case that she did die in a workhouse? I have sent off for her death certificate as this should I hope, show where she died.

Thank you. Caroline

Hello Caroline and welcome.


Just to add another suggestion. I did manage to find a great Aunts grave through Find a Grave.com and UK Burial Records. They gave me enough information for free to be able to find the grave location.
