Hi Beverley, It would seem likely that the Son in question may well have been the father of the child and its most likely that the Lady of the house was sympathetic to Sophia's plight (not always the case). Sophia must have been a trusted and valued employee, especially to have been asked to witness a will. Sophia may have been allowed to keep the baby - its possible that whilst she was working the baby was placed in the care of the Nanny of the household, or alternatively he was cared for by a relat

Sorry, I see you have already posted his census records on that site. It was the wording of your message that made me think you didnt have confirmation of his voyage.

Hi Barbara, Have you looked for him on the 1901 census? He may have already been in the workhouse so it may not help much. More useful would be the Workhouse records themselves as they may give information on his parents. Unfotunately West Ham Union is not the best for surviving records. You will need to contact Newham Archives at Stratford Reference Library, Water Lane, London, NE15 4NJ and ask them fror advice. Macphersons Homes were taken over by Barnados, so you can try contacting them to enquir

Hi Barabra, Sadly the people at that time thought they were doing the best thing. English society had changed hugely when the industrial revolution shifted a huge number of people from the countryside into the towns. This change in living prompted all the welfare reforms of the Victorian era. Previously the Parish Church had b

My James was in and out of the Bolton Workhouse. Dear Joyce, The death register for Bolton has survived along with the admission and discharge registers for most of the 19th century.

There is the death of a James Hampson, age 37, registered at Bolton, Lancs in the June Quarter of 1887. Since a James Hampson was my great-grandfather, I am wondering if this man was mine. My James was in and out of the Bolton Workhouse. Does the Workhouse Death Register for that year still exist. If it does, how can I check it/have it checked? Thank you for any information you could provide. Regards, Joyce Stevens

15. [UK-WORKHOUSE-HOSP] Rochester (later Southwark) Diocesan Association for the Care of Friendless Girls [1]
Hi all, I'm new to the list and my main research interest is the Rochester (later Southwark) Diocesan Association for the Care of Friendless Girls. This organisation was formed by the Bishop of Rochester in 1894, to reach out to unmarried mothers, prostitutes and girls who were in danger of being led astray. It endeavoured to link together the various associations, homes and workers already engaged in Rescue and Preventative Work with girls in the Diocese, and to encourage new efforts where most needed.

Joyce, I don't know the answer to your question but I suggest that if you receive no helpful reply from others on the list you could purchase the certificate for 7 GB pounds. The certificate would give the place of residence and the place of death and also state the person who was present at or reporting the death. I guess you are not in the UK and may find it difficult to buy the certificate and so if you finally have to take that course of action I could buy it for you and scan you a copy then mail you

Hi Barbara, Do you want the one word answer or the half-hour rant (grin). One word: class. The rant: charities in those days were run by a bunch of self satisfied middle class amateurs. Add a touch of socially-motivated religious cant and half a cup of eugenics (very popular with the chattering classes at the time) and you have a lethal cockta

According to the 1871 census his eldest son was a butcher's boy aged 14 in Camberwell, the next two children aged 12 and 10 are listed in Portsea Workhouse as paupers and also in private houses in Portsmouth as 'orphan stopping with us' and 'visitor' and the youngest daughter aged 8 is in a private house as a visitor.

Hello Group... I am searching for information on my late grandfather's background. His name was Henry GIBBS, said to have been born June 30, 1896 ( this may not be factual ) He was in West Ham Union School in Essex from 1901 - 1908 when he was sent to Canada to become a farmboy. It was said he was sent with a group from the Church of England on board the S.S. Tunisian in July of 1908. He has said the he recalled having an older brother that kind of looked out for him.
