The Common Room / Workhouse abbreviation
« on: Tuesday 16 April 24 20:27 BST (UK) »
Does anyone know what FPH stands for? It's in the Observations column. Other entries in the column vary from 'paralysed', 'deserted' to 'dislocated hip'. But there are several with FPH.
The record is for Bromley House, Stepney.
The record is for Bromley House, Stepney.

Thanks everyone. The other entry then for George Brignell is probably a transcription error then.

Essex Lookup Requests / Great Baddow marriage/banns
« on: Saturday 13 April 24 16:42 BST (UK) »
I’ve found a marriage on Ancestry dated 5 June 1877 between Emma Louisa Dossitter and George Moses Brown. Confusingly, Ancestry also has a similar record for this couple on 3rd June 1877 at Great Baddow but this time George’s surname is given as Brignell. Is anyone able to check the actual entry on the ERO site for the latter record please?

Essex / Essex County Lunatic Asylum in South Weald
« on: Saturday 23 March 24 20:40 GMT (UK) »
Does anyone know if the Essex Record Office in Chelmsford have records for the above Asylum? I'm interested in someone there on the 1881 census and wondering if it's worth a visit?
