Hello Lorraine,
Welcome to the list

Having had a Son there, it looks very much as if that was the reason for
admission.
Many Women had to do this .... for differing reasons, maybe abandoned by her
family for the "disgrace" she would be unable to care for herself, and
entered the workhouse.
The Crimphill Workhouse became Old Windsor Hospital which merged with King
Edward VII Hospital, after 1948 under the National Health Service.
There are quite a few records available at the Berkshire Record Office:
Shinfield Park
Reading
Berkshire

Would you give a thought to adding them to our web site ....<vbg> please?
All the best, Jan
