Hi Daphne
If Samuel's birth certificate gives Swansea Union as place of birth
then yes, it is the workhouse. Swansea Workhouse records are at West
Glamorgan Archives - see
http://www3.swansea.gov.uk/CalmView/Record.aspx?src=CalmView.Catalog&...
I'm not sure whether there would be any mention of Samuel or his
family in these records - the inmate registers don't start until
1858, but there might be references elsewhere. Probably best to
speak direct to the staff at Swansea Archives.

Was the Swansea Union a workhouse?
If so can anyone find the birth of Samuel Andrews(or Parker)
born July 1855. ( I have a birth certficate with this information)
Father listed as Samuel Andrews (Baker Journeyman) - Mother
Ellen Andrews (formerly Parker).
If I have the right couple they left two children in the Bideford
Workhouse,Devon.
Appreciate any help you can give me.
Ellen may have given a false name, Samuel Andrews was married to Eliza Parker
Regards
Daphne
