Workhouse burials

Would anyone be able to tell me where inmates of the Bangor and Beaumaris workhouse would have been buried circa 1860s please?

Regards

Re: Workhouse burials

Presumably, before 1866, burials were at Tanyfynwent which was the extension of the Cathedral churchyard, but from 1866 onwards, burials were at the newly-opened  public cemetery at Glanadda. Perhaps if the workhouse inmates were from outside Bangor parish, they would have been buried in their native parish?
If you send the name, date of death and approximate age of the deceased, I may  be able to help you.
