Death in the Workhouse
If an inmate died in the workhouse, the death was notified to their family who could, if they wished, organize a funeral themselves. If this did not happen, which was often the case because of the expense, the Guardians arranged a burial in a local cemetery or burial ground ? this was originally required to be in the parish where the workhouse stood, but later rules allowed it to be the deceased's own parish if they or their relatives had expressed such a wish. A few workhouses had their own burial ground on or adjacent to the workhouse site.

The burial would be in the cheapest possible coffin and in an unmarked grave, into which several coffins might be placed on the same occasion. Under the terms of the 1832 Anatomy Act, bodies unclaimed for forty-eight hours could also be disposed of by donating them for use in medical research and training ? this was not specific to workhouses, but applied to any institution whose inmates died while in its care. Deaths were, however, always registered in the normal way.

Have a look at the map here Springwell Lane I see a mortuary but not a cemetery. Perhaps your eyes are better than mine. Anyway there are clues there as to where you may find his grave.

Hi very late here. But came across as researching.
Want to let you know there are graves on the site. Many would possibly be under what's now the mallard primary school.
Theres a couple of graves visible on a field next door to the school right in the corner where the perimeter fence for the school field is, and on the school field, children found the top of a headstone poking out of the hill on the other side of the school closer to the houses on Grenville Road.

Better late than never Alz93. Thank-you for that I'll have a look too.
