Hi Alison

Yes, the Register of Births in the Chepstow Workhouse 1866-1900 shows that Gertrude Ellen was born on 28 November 1900, the illegitimate daughter of Ruth Jenkins, who had been admitted to the workhouse from Chepstow parish. This information is from the Gwent Family History Society's CD of "Non-conformist Records of Some Chapels, Churches and Circuits in the Old County of Monmouthshire".

I don't know what happened to the babies. Why don't you try Peter Higginbotham's Workhouses website

Best wishes

Alan
