I don't think the 1841 census record found by Malyon is a workhouse. Going back through the images there isn't any mention of a "Master" of a workhouse which there usually is.

Gates Report 12 Nov 2015 21:43

Thanks Chris - this was mine from ages ago when I was trying to trace what happened to May as she didnt appear on the census as living with the rest of the family when she was 14.
Holly - I assume Sarah was born in Islington as well - she was a couple of years older - I think her father was Henry but no idea who her mother was
thanks for your help
Carolyn

by the way - are there Irish records available to access now ?
