Charterhouse ancestors

[suttontrust]

If you discover that an ancestor was a resident of the Hull Charterhouse I would be glad to hear about it.  I might be able to help, having done a huge amount of research into the "hospital"; but I'm also keen to document as many residents as possible.
There's some background on our website at http://www.hullcharterhouse.weebly.com/

Hi,

One of my relatives, Robert Sleight, was resident in Charterhouse around 1900, sure he appears on at least one census as a resident there (don't have my records to hand with exact details). If I remember correctly it was listed as Gods own hospital, Charterhouse.

Thanks Kev, more details would be appreciated.  On which censuses does he show up at the Charterhouse?  I could probably find out when he actually entered.  What was his job before retirement?
The other names for the Charterhouse were "God's House hospital" or just God's House.

Hi again,

Robert Sleight was on the 1891 & 1901 census, resident in Charterhouse. 1881 he was living elsewhere, his wife died 1879.
He was born around 1815, died 1908. He was a greengrocer/shopkeeper most of his life.

Thanks, Kev.  Do you want me to find out exactly when he entered the Charterhouse?

Yes please, would be nice to know when he entered Charterhouse.

Thanks
Kev.
