Title: Children's Home/Workhouse in Shrewsbury about 1910
Post by: Tarnwater on Sunday 24 March 13 20:12 GMT (UK)

Please help me find two children in 1911, their parents seperated just before 1911. Nellie Dora Black born 1898 and her brother Louis Ward Black born 1903, both were born in Shrewsbury. I know Nellie Dora was with her parents Percy W & Harriet Black in 1901 living in Shrewsbury.
It is believed that the two children were put into a home or workhouse, but they cannot be found. HELP!

I am not asking for a copy of the 1911 census for free, what I am requesting is to know where to look.
Thank you,
Brian

The free 1911 index shows Nellie living in Kendal Westmorland

Hello CaroleW,
Thank you so much, she is Nellie Dora Blade on Ancestry, no wonder I could not find her. Now to find her brother Louis Ward, born 1903 in Shrewsbury.
Regards,
Brian
