I don't believe there are any records of inmates at the Ballinasloe workhouse back to 1851. That would have been at the end of the famine period and the workhouses were overcrowded. Many inmates died. You may have seen this site https://www.workhouses.org.uk/Ballinasloe/ but if not here is some background on the Ballinasloe workhouse.
