Family History Beginners Board / Re: Lincoln Union Workhouse 1848
« on: Monday 12 June 06 01:02 BST (UK)  »
I have the birth registration for the youngest child, born after the father's death.  I also have the parish baptismal records for all  9 of the children.  The mother was widowed in December of 1846, the last child born in March of 1847 where the family resided and not in the Union Work House.  Both children died within three months of one another.  The remaining children were all placed with family in Nottinghamshire by 1851, except for my ancestor.  I do not know if these children were also in the Work House before being sent to relatives.  If they were, I assume they would have been split up according to age.
I have not found the mother's death record or any census record for her after 1841.  Of course, Sargeson can and will be spelled many different ways.

Family History Beginners Board / Lincoln Union Workhouse 1848

I have discovered that two siblings of my ancestor Jane Sargeson died in the Lincoln Union Workhouse in 1848 - one was less than a year old, the other a toddler of three years.  My questions are:  would the workhouse have sent their mother out to work away from the workhouse, would she have been allowed to leave the children there if she herself was not an inmate,  and would these children have been separated from their mother at the workhouse?

The death registrations I have for the two children do not indicate that their mother is dead. 

Any information greatly appreciated.

Does a posthumous baptism only mean that the father is dead at the time of the ceremony or could it also mean that the mother is dead, too?
