can anyone tell me if it is possible to view records from the Workhouse anywhere?does the 100 yr rule thing apply to this too? the person i want info on is my grandmother and she was born in the Workhouse in 1919,it is a bit of a stumbling block as she was born illegitimately and i need to find out the age of her mother to link her with other possible family members.My gran never spoke about her life much and it was only a few weeks ago that we found out why Thanks Anna
