I have come across 3 of my ancestors who all died in Northfield Workhouse. They were from the same family.William Witheford in August 1820, Thomas Witheford in January 1821 and Richard Witheford in December 1835.
Can anyone give me some information about the workhouse please? Whenever I search the internet I am referred to Kings Norton Workhouse. Are they one of the same? If not I would appreciate some details i.e. where was it situated; what sort of size was it; were there a range of reasons for inmates to be there? etc.
Thanks in anticipation
Dave
