As we lived in Scotland and had no connections in the area we just assumed she had died in someones house. My nan mever talked about it because of the connection to it being a workhouse, Mum and I were upset to think she had kept it to herself all those years. She died in 1940.
As far as I know and I'm all for being corrected,there was only two workhouses in liverpool one on brownlow hill which was huge and the other in Kirkdale.
There were other establishments but these were mainly sanitoriums for the sick and poor health.
