Admission Records at Burnley Workhouse
in the District of Burnley
Admissions J - Z 1916 - 1919

The full name of this register is: Religious creed register & Index to admissions & discharge Book J-Z 1916 - 1919. The register's dates appear to reflect the time during which the book was maintained, but some of the entries refer to people with admission dates long before this time. Some individuals recorded in this book also appear in other books, with the same admission date recorded. This suggests that each new book may have begun with a complete list of those who were resident at the time, carrying forward any names from the previous register who still remained at the Workhouse.

The records of Burnley Workhouse are being transcribed by a team of volunteers as part of a partnership project between Lancashire Archives and Lancashire Online Parish Clerks. The records displayed online provide an index which shows the name, date of admission, and year of birth. The full records contain more information including Address from Whence Admitted, Township, Religion, and Date of Discharge. These can be viewed by visiting or contacting Lancashire Archives, at Preston.
