Here is the web address of Hampshire Record Office. Use the contact us facility and ask them if they have Winchester Workhouse Records. http://www.hants.gov.uk/record-office/ Cheers, Horatia

All workhouse records are usually kept at the County Record Office so yours would be held at Hampshire Records Office. I'll google it for you. Cheers, Horatia
