I have a a birth certificate from 1852 for an Eliza Allen born at 68 Woodcock Street, Duddeston. It appears that the mother was unmarried. Does anyone know if this street at that time had any homes/workhouses in that location, please?
 
There is nothing listed in the 1849 or 1855 directories. Certainly there wasn't a workhouse there, but directories at this time sometimes did not include places that were not businesses (and might pay to be included)
 
In the 1851 census there is a Thomas Greatorex, Gun finisher listed at 68, Woodcock Street. With 4 children.
