I am researching a family member Edward ADDISON who died in January 1947 at 4 Common Edge in Market Drayton, which I believe was the Union Workhouse. Can anyone tell me if this address was a workhouse in 1947, where it was in Market Drayton and where people were buried in Market Drayton from the workhouse?
Any help appreciated to get me started in then right direction.

Michael, Thank you for the web site hint it appears to be an institution around 1947. Regards marc
The Rootschat link that I sent you, well, someone mentioned it on that .
Angela, I have looked at web site and it appears that the Shropshire Archives may hold some records between 1946 and 1948, I will visit the archives to see what I can find out. Thank you for your help.
You're welcome.

It appears that it was an old people's home then ?
