Is Kings Norton Union Workhouse on the 1911 census?

[metebelis_3]

I have an ancestor born in 1912 at "2 Raddle Barn Road, Selly Oak". I suspect this may have been Kings Norton Union Workhouse Infirmary which was based on Raddle Barn Road and later became Selly Oak Hospital.

On the 1911 census, both "Raddle Barn Road" and "Raddlebarn Road" are listed within Kings Norton, but the entries appear to be individual residences, and No. 2 is not listed.

Does anyone know if the workhouse staff and residents would have been on the 1911 census and if so where to find them?

Thanks.

2, Raddlebarn Road was used as the generic address for KN Workhouse, now (or was) Selly Oak Hospital, the infirmary became Selly Oak Hospital in 1911

As has been said , it was the workhouse infirmary. However that does not answer your question about the census, and I cannot find it on the 1911 census.

I have been looking for my grandfathers sister rosa rea.i searched her name and came up with her in the 1911 census in self oak union infirmary. maybe search the ancestors name. she was born 1910 but she wasn't in the census with her mother Phoebe rea. so I didn't think she existed till now. can't find a death though.
