I've looked on Ancestry but can't find any sign of her in 1871.I did find a death though. 2nd quarter Emily Westwood 45 West Bromwich.Might be her.
How tragic to live your life in a Workhouse.She was mentioned as Idiot and Imbecile. My paternal grandmother was born in Sedgley Workhouse and i thought, when i found out, how sad i wish i'd have known when she was alive but this lady Emily Westwood ....Terrible. Let's hope we can find something about her and to give her some recognition that she ever lived.
