Good Morning All
I have a loose end that I'm hoping could be resolved here.
One Thomas PERCY b. 1872, Berwick Upon Tweed, married one Christina JOHNSTONE b. 1876, Tweedmouth when they found she was pregnant, in March qtr 1892. She was a servant at the time at 1 Yard Heads, and he was an Apprentice Mason, living with parents at Weatherly Square.
Thomas (19 years) was fined for the upkeep of his wife (16 years) when she was about to be 'confined', although her mother apparently wrote a letter stating that her parents would keep her until he had finished his apprenticeship (Berwick Advertiser article - 17 June 1892).
Thomas died the following year, but I've not been able to locate a death notice as to what happened to him as yet. So young Christina with a newborn, Christina PERCY b. July-Sep qtr 1892, Berwick is now .... living with her parents? in the Workhouse? as Christina was when the court was petitioned for her upkeep.
I'm having a struggle locating either of the Christina's in the 1901 / 1911 census records, so hoping for some fresh eyes, or Berwick Workhouse record access if possible.
Cheers,
Fiona
