For further information about the work of Middlemore Homes it may be worth reading " Great Canadian Expectations The Middlemore Experience" by Patricia Roberts-Pichette. The publisher is Global Heritage Press, c/o GlobalGenealogy.com Inc., 238 Lyndhurst Street, Carleton Place, Ontario, Canada, K7C 1J2. ISBN: 978-1-77240-046-5 (paperback).

I tried to buy a copy of this book last year, but was unable to get hold of one. The copies that there are seem to be held in reference sections of libraries and are not loaned out. Booksellers in the UK were not able to obtain a copy. I was able to obtain a download of the book direct from the publisher last September. 

Birmingham Archives hold records for the Middlemore Homes. Details, of what they have, are in their on-line catalogue.

Thank you for letting me know about this, it's much appreciated.

In case it's of any help, I've got an image showing William Henry Haycock's admission to Middlemore Homes on 11 January 1907. Birthday shown as 10 December. Guardian William Haycock.
Comments- Father and mother in Birmingham Union.
Hello, many thanks for your post.
I am not aware of that record so would love to see it please.
I knew that the boy was sent to Canada as a Middlemore child but didn't know that his parents were inmates of the workhouse.
Several of this boy's cousins were also Middlemore children & my research into them led me to find that their parents were drunkards with their father often beating them with a leather belt. Fortunately they were all well placed in Canada with them all going on to have happy lives. The girl was taken in by a family who gave her their own surname "adopting" her as their own daughter.
If you could share that record with me I would be most grateful.
Thank you.

Staffordshire / Re. Joseph Dudley, Innkeeper

Hello All,

I wonder if anyone might be able to help me please?
John Dudley, a butcher of Dudley, married to Eliza Barton at St Thomas Church, Dudley in 1844 & his marriage details show that his father's name was Joseph Dudley who was an innkeeper.
Does anyone have the knowledge in order to discover which inns Joseph Dudley may have run in the Dudley area please?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thank you.

Noel Sykes Hunter is known to have been a publican in Liverpool from around the early 1900's until around the mid 1950's.
Could anyone possibly advise me on how to learn about which pubs he ran please?
Thank you.
