In 1881 Robert Linn 62 Widower, Florry 11 and an Emma 5 are in the Stepney Union Workhouse, St Leonard Street, Poplar

Emma Linn (Mother) has died in 1880, Robert dies 1884 in the same Workhouse.

Lydia is possibly the illegitimate child of Emma Holmes, Emma Married Robert Linn in Dec qtr 1859 the same qtr a Lydia Holmes was registered, Lydia, Sarah A, Robert William and Frederic/k were all baptised the same day 24th February 1865.

I have located Flora, she married a James Joseph Peckham Dec qtr 1896 Birmingham 6d 41 and in 1901 is living a few doors away from Jane who married an Urban James Fletcher in 1888 Edmonton.

It is the rest of the children I need help on!

Hi again all, another phone call from my mother re a book, on this occasion due to her knowledge of my interest in Genealogy she mentioned once again an article in the Daily Mirror, on this occasion I have ordered a copy and I feel all those who are searching for possible living relatives could gain an insight into possible ways to go about it,  this lady searched for her 21 brothers and sisters who had been put in care,  once again if interested the book is Doreen's Lot published by Peter J Bennett & Barrie Morris available on Amazon

Hi all, has anyone posted about the new format, it was workable after the last debacle with a bit of tweeking and a rethink of how to search, but now from my findings it is back to a new learning curve.

Any thoughts on how you have found it, now my mobile looks to have stopped my bookmark of the previous format?
