Poor Relief Lookup PLEASE in Bedford
« on: Wednesday 05 August 09 17:19 UTC (UK) »
Help,

Looking for lost Child...
William Arthur Paterson  (or Collett as parents were not married yet)....
Born: First Quarter of 1964
Son of: Robert Paterson of Scotland and
Mother: Rose Finden Collett of Bedford ,England
Parents were Married in Bedford
Jan 7,1865
They had another son Walter Cyrus Paterson in Scotland
in Jan 31,1867
Both Parents died and left Walter in Scotland?Huh?

Well in my searching for this orphaned baby i had a Poor
Relief done in Scotland...Was able to find that he had been
cared of by a forter mother who applied for relief in 1872'
in the records I discovered that he was not the only child..
and that a child named William Arthur was being cared for by
his grandparents in England...Walter and Frances Collett of
Bedford....well i knew of this family threw search info on their
mother Rose so I started looking and found that grandfather
Walter had died and grandmother Frances had remarried to
a William Willsher (1871 Census) and Frances Collett (Mispelled Lellett) but he was there and is 7 years old...
  Well in 1878 grams Frances died i found out and in 1879
his stepgrandfather died ...so he was orphaned again in
England as his brother was in Scotland...
Walter Cyrus Paterson was sent to Canada Quarrie at age
13 as he was a orphan again when his caretaker died.
Now i was wondering if the Poor Relief Records in England
would tell me where William Arthur was as he would have been age 15....
  I some kind person could do a lookup for me to help find
this England brother (i have found Walter) It would be
so much appreciated as this is such a tragic thing that
happened to these brothers and family....
Please give me some idea's or help ....Crookedtail

Do you have William in any census subsequent to 1871, or do you know what happened to him eg marriage/emigration?

Where have you searched?
