The earliest surviving records to list inmates of this Workhouse date from 1884 and give details of their names, parish of origin, ages and occupations, together with dates of admission(s) and discharge (DR324/3/25, DR324/3/1). These have been entered on the database up to 1906 and can be searched by name, year of birth, parish and dates(s) of admission.
