	More likely it the hospital attached to the workhouse People would be in the hospital because they couldn't afford private care but wouldn't necessarily have been in the workhouse Because of the stigma of the workhouse the postal address would be given of the hospital rather than the name Edit. Take a look at this web page http://www.workhouses.org.uk/Axminster/ Seems not many records have survived
