My mother Eileen her sister Biddy aka Barbera and their brother George were in the Cottage Homes before and after 1928 ( mums birth year ) Hawthorn cottage was where Biddy was I forget which one my mum was in and do not know where George was . Their last name was Dyer . They were all born in the Shoreditch/Islington area I assume you have had a look at the workhouses site www.workhouses.org.uk Sadly George Dyer died in 2005 and Biddy is in the early stages of dementia . I think I may have messaged you before on the same subject via another site Regards and best wishes Tony
