Lincoln Workhouse 1843- 1851

[James2you]

Can anyone help with the Lincoln Work houses 1843-1851, searching births ?

[CaroleW]

Any registered birth for that period will be on freebmd  www.freebmd.org.uk

Most WH births were registered and/or the child was baptised - not absolutely guaranteed though

Thanks for that CaroleW, I have looked but struggled with finding my relative ,Louisa Maplestone,1843 ( Market Rasen)

Thanks again.

Hi

Failure to register a birth only became a fineable offence in 1874/5 - prior to then, many births went unregistered.

Do you know for certain that she was actually born in the WH?

The only Louisa Maplestone I can find on a census entry was b 1841 Middlesex - she is on the 1841 and her birth is on freebmd.  She died in 1843 as Louisa Elizabeth Maplestone - also in Middlesex

Can you give us some additional info about your Louisa (eg) who did she marry and when

Is she on a census entry?

[CaroleW]

The 1851 has a Louisa Mapletton b 1845 parents Ellick and Catherine.  Freebmd marriage entry for parents shows surname as Mapleston.

I won't post full entry unless you can confirm it's the right parents

Well thanks CaroleW, my John Oconnor wed Loiusa Maplestone in Market Rasen, he was a Joiner, she is registered in 1871 census as bn in Lincoln Work House, it may well show up as caistor region.
please let me know if you need more.

Thanks again CaroleW

Hi

Freebmd has no e on the end of Mapleston on the marriage entry. 

Do you have a copy of the 1866 marriage cert showing a fathers name?

she is registered in 1871 census as bn in Lincoln Work House

No she isn't - she is shown as aged 26 (1845) born Lincoln Lincolnshire

[James2you]

Hello CaroleW, I do have their marriage cert and her father was Alexander, he was a bricklayer,
aged 21  at marriage

Thanks again
