Died in the workhouse

By Manila Jack |

I've discovered a burial record for a person who may or may not be a relative. His name was Mariano or Meriano Delacruz and was buried in Free Parochial Cemetery, Rice Lane, Walton on 28th February 1879.  The record says he died in the workhouse.  Would there be any records of which workhouse and would any workhouse records survive that may give me more information about this poor soul?

 

Thanks in advance.

Thank you so much Bertieone.  I had the marriage and naturalisation records but not the other two from the workhouse.  The address 24 Frederick Street ties in with other information have.  Thanks once again.  Another piece in the jigsaw.
