If there is anyone out there with info on the workings of the Newport Union Workhouse I would be grateful for a pointer on the way to go.
My gt. grandfather John Price (I know

He is absent from his father's home in 1901 and declared dead on my grandmother's mc in 1903. I have purchased two dc's which are correct for age of John Price, both dying in 1900, one in Newport Union Workhouse and one in Griffithstown Workhouse - no family signature or details. There was a John Price b. in Griffithstown also in 1845 so I am kind of banking on the Newport death as mine. There is also a lair in Trevethin Church, Pontypool for a John Price dying in 1900 but no stone. My g. grandmother, his wife, was buried there in 1885 (age 29) but in her Curzon family's plot.
What I wonder is how best to get info on any relevant Workhouse data re his entry into Workhouse, as I think this would clear up whether he is mine, and also whether there would be data on his death, giving more info than the death cert.
Unsure how to get this as I cannot go down to Wales and I don't know his exact date of entry. Anyone know if this info - even an index of what is available - might be available online? Have tried Googling but not getting anywhere.
Very grateful for any guidance.
