Cheers Roger, yes I hadn't considered the possibility the child was a direct result of being in the Workhouse. I guess such a thing could happen, altho' as you say I think the sexes were kept apart, certainly in later years even families were split up in this way. However of course in those days as now,sadly, you might get some rogue staff with wicked intentions...
