I don't know whether there are any. My paternal GGrandmothers father (James Evans 1817 - 1907) died in Westbury Workhouse. I picked him up in St John's, Cinderford Burial Register 13 August 1907. From there I went to Westbury Union Records in GCR. There was no mention of his death, or anyone elses as far as I remember.

I don't know why he was in the Workhouse. He had family in Soudley and probably in Newnham. He had been a cordwainer (Newnham Tradesmen lists) and a Policeman at Newnham from 1841 to mid 1850's.
