Somewhere in Kent, United Kingdom?????

LadyValli1 — 16 Feb 2008 11:39:12 GMT

Hi. Looking for help on whether anyone knows of a Poorhouse, Sanatorium or anything in Kent round about 1922 give or take a couple of years. My mother once told me she was "in this horrible place in Kent that was run by Nuns and that they were ****** sadistic and she hated it there". However, she never said how long she was there or why and I stupidly never asked. Now I have no one left to ask. I know she was supposedly in a Sanatorium for TB when she was "young", and I am guessing same time, in St. Albans. Could these be one and the same? She always mentioned them separately to me. She lived in Westminster, and am pretty sure her parents were not married and my aunt was six years older and went into service at age 14, when my mother would have been Aabout 8.This would have been 1924. Thus my confusion. I know she lived in the Old Pye Street, Strutton Ground area of Westminster, London and was born in that area as was my aunt.She said her dad died when she was 3 but I take that with a pinch of salt. However I did find someone of the same name who died in 1921 (close as she was born Dec 1916) so that could be true.I am really confused on this one and if there is anyone who knows of somewhere in Kent she could have been sent (mother unable to cope etc?) or St.Albans re sanatorium would be grateful. Her name was Emily Dorothy Noakes, her mother was Louisa Frances Noakes and her father ??? George Noakes?. With many thanks.

Reporter seeking poor farm experiences

jkeen52 — 5 Aug 2008 6:27:15 GMT

I'm a reporter for USA TODAY, and I'm working on a story about poor farms (sometimes called poor homes or county homes) and the value they and their cemeteries have to people researching genealogy.
If you found an ancestor who lived at or was buried at a poor farm anywhere in the U.S., I'd love to hear from you - especially if you're willing to be interviewed on the record.
thanks!

Marylebone workhouse birth records circa 1847

MGarrison — 31 Jul 2008 10:29:59 GMT

I see at the LMA they have birth records for 1866 onwards for the Marylebone workhouse.

I am looking for a birth for Alexander Long circa 1847 (by age on 1851 census) in the workhouse. This birth appears not to have been registered in the civil registration records (or is not easily found).

Does anyone know where I might find birth records for the workhouse at this time?

Almshouse/Poorhouse-NY-Census-Genesee & Wyoming Counties

Lollipop1963 — 29 Jan 2006 2:11:49 GMT

I have transcribed the 1910-1920 US Federal Census for the Wyoming Co. Almshouse/Poorhouse located in Orangeville and plan to continue with other years as time permits.

I have also transcribed the Genesee Co., Almshouse/ Poorhouse located in Bethany for several census years.

I will answer emails seeking information about an individual(s) if subject of email states "Genesee or Wyoming Co. Almshouse/Poorhouse". Please state person(s) name and any possible vitals about the person(s) as the Census records, example: 1910, is sometimes extremely hard to read.

Only serious queries will be answered. Email: nellers1@msn.com

Thank you.

Gale/Gayle-Robinson or Robertson-? Pennsylvania

Champlain9 — 24 Mar 2008 9:42:38 GMT

I need some help as I have hit a complete brick wall.

I have been searching for Gale/Gayle for some time now, apparently he was raised in an orphanage in Pennsylvania and served in the US army in the UK in 1944.

He was a coal miner prior to enlisting into the army which would have possibly been prior to WW2. His name has been spelt differently, he may have served in the 82nd airborne division, not 100% sure.

This is all the information I have, and would appreciate any help please.

William Thomas JONES

KimmerGirl — 24 Apr 2007 6:09:59 GMT

William Thomas JONES (Jr) - Gloucestershire, England - is my gr-gr-grandfather – born sometime between 1850-1852 with the EXACT name as his father. Nothing is known of his mother’s name or family line. I DID discover actual information on him for a short 12 yr period 1871-1883, but BEFORE and AFTER these years, remains a total mystery to me. I am at the BRICK WALL stage now, and frustrated - Any help whatsoever would be much appreciated.

MARRIAGE - 10 Oct 1871 to Ellen Matilda BEACH in Parish church, Bedminster.
Age: 21 (therefore est birth to be 1850)
Occupation: Postman.
Residence: Brown’s Row, ?city/village?.
His father: William Thomas JONES – occupation: Printer, at the time of son’s wedding.

CENSUS of 1881 lists him born in Bristol, Gloucestershire
Age: 29 (therefore est birth abt 1852)
Residence: Jacobs Wells, Barton Regis, Clifton, Gloucestershire, with wife Ellen M. and his four daughters, Mabel E., Elizabeth, Eliza Rose, and Elsie.
Occupation: Wheelchair man (probably because daughter Elizabeth was crippled).

DEATH of his wife Ellen Matilda (BEACH) JONES on 13 June 1883:
William Thomas JONES was the informant.
Residence: 6 Oxford Court, Oxford St, Kingsdown, Bristol, U.S.D.(whatever that means?)
Occupation: Wheelchair man.

Spring 1884 (only 9 months after his wife died) he was listed as 'drunkard' and all 4 daughters were received into orphanages (3 in Bristol Home & Bessie(Elizabeth) into a Cripples Home in Clifton). Elsie and Rose were shipped to Canada in May 1884.

Daily, I search….When/where was he actually born ? Who was his mother, so I can trace that side ? When/where did his parents die? Where did daughters Mabel E and Bessie(Elizabeth) go? Where did he disappear to, after his wife’s death in 1883 ?

Thank you so much, in advance. I appreciate it immensely.

Alms House, of Drawbridge, Dorchester County, Maryland

Karen_Pineau — 29 May 2007 3:45:56 GMT

I'm looking for information about this Alms House that was located in Drawbridge, Dorchester County, Maryland.
My relative Valentine Creamer with wife and family ran the Alms House. Don't know if it was known by a different name.
But it must have some kind of history.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Kirkdale Industrial School Liverpool 1851- Mary Mylett

Trevburke — 22 Sep 2006 10:44:26 GMT

I think Mary married Patrick Burke in Bolton in 1854, from the index although I ve yet to see the mar cert. I have followed Patrick and Mary Through the census as follows:

1861 7 Walton Street Birkenhead
Patrick Burke 28 Plasterer Ireland
Mary 24 Ireland
William 7 Birkenhead
John 9 (mths?) Birkenhead

1871 10 Ship Gates? Great Bolton Bolton
Patrick Burke 38 Plasterer Meath Ireland
Mary 32 Liverpool
William 17 Bolton
John 11 Bolton
Joseph 5 Bolton (my ggrandfather)
Elizabeth 3 Bolton
Sarah 1 Bolton

1881 4 Hales Court Bolton
Patrick 47 Plasterer n/a
Mary 41 n/a
Joseph 16 House Painter n/a (same occ. on 1893 marcert and Patrick as F)
Mary A 15 Mill op
Eliz 13 scholar
Thomas 11
Charles 9
Sarah 6

So from 1871 census Mary b Liverpool, From 1861census b Ireland!
William and John b Birkenhead in 1861 census or Bolton in 1871 census.

Are census often inaccurate over Where born?
In any case it appears Mary was b circa 1839. there is a Mary Mylett in Kirkdale in 1851 aged 12!! Therefore if she is the same she certainly had her early years in Liverpool
How could I follow this up, any ideas?

Cumberland County Illinois Poor Farm AKA "Old Folks Home"

bbkingst — 15 Jan 2007 7:37:27 GMT

I know that early Poor Farm records were lost in a fire in 1885 in Cumberland Co., IL, but the Poor House had residents until after 1910. My gr gr grandmother was a resident there being admitted on July 14, 1879 being blind and old (she was 49) and she lived there until she died on 18Apr, 1910. At that time there were 8 residents living there.
Please, does anyone know of any records, or where I might find records? There has to be something somewhere doesn't there?
Thanks in advance,

Edmonton workhouse in Enfield

I am looking for any information concerning Charles Gabriel, born sometime around 1890-1894, who was transferred from Edmonton Union workhouse to Hornchurch Cottage homes in 1894. There exists apparently for the Edmonton Workhouse a list of paupers (1879-1930), of births (1886-1895) and of creed registers (1876, 1881-1938). Should anyone have access to any of these, could you please check to see if a Charles Gabriel is listed? Thank you very much.

While trying to find information on the Mineola Insane Asylum on Long Island I happened upon it. The site contains New York State history on mental institutions, orphan homes, poor houses AND more importantly what records are available, what years and where they can be found. I know many have questions regarding records for the Hudson River State Hospital...you may just find what you need here. I am extremely impressed with this site.

Lyle Harris 16 Feb 1891 - April 1906 Boone Co. Poor Farm Iowa

CraigFinder — 31 Oct 2005 11:16:00 GMT

Attached is the obituary for Lyle Harris, son of "Doc Harris."

Lyle and his mom are buried in the Boone Co. Poor Farm Cemetery. I wouldn't have known this had it not been for Lyle's lone stone. His mother and himself are not listed in any records as being buried there.

I am interested in any descendants of the Boone Co. Poor Farm/asylum in Iowa.

My GGG Grandfather, Joseph Craig, died in 1894, in the asylum fire. You can see an article here ~>http://www.poorhousestory.com/IA_BOONE_NewsFire.htm

His name is misspelled "Cregg." Strangely enough all the other papers I've seen have spelled his name correctly. The story was nationwide.

Thanks for any help you can offer --- Thanks for your time.

Why did people live in workhouses?

Maureen — 25 Oct 2005 9:04:44 GMT

I have an ancestor living in the workhouse in Norwich Norfolk. The father and 12 yr old son are there. It appears that the mother is working as a schoolmistress and boarding out. Another grown son works nearby as a shopkeeper and a grown daughter as a housemaid. The 12yr old is listed as a scholar, the father as "inmate". By the next census the father is gone the young son is living with his widowed mother and widowed older sister.
Can anyone give a possible explanation for the family situation?

Montcalm County Poor Farm

Falisha King — 27 Sep 2004 6:40:37 GMT

I have been looking for information on the home I work at for quite some time. It is now called Greenville Acres Adult Foster Care Home but from what I have heard it has had a few names. I know that it used to be called Montcalm County Poor Farm and was running in the mid 1800's. Sometime near the turn of the century there was a fire that destroyed most of the farm but it was soon rebuilt. It used to be an infirmary where they kept the unruly and a storage for war supplies such as wool blankets and plasma. This is only a tiny fraction of what I need to know so if you have any information.... I put this under graveyards because there is a Potter's Field directly across the road where people that died in the home were buried. The home is located on County Farm rd in Greenville Mi.
Thanks...
