Well Solid Rock, My G.G.G. Grandfather was at this Clap Gate for some time being as he had a "fever for 11 weeks". If there was no workhouse on that street I am beginning to ponder whether he was having some form of dodgy "extramarital" relationship with this Harriet person...🤔😱

A-ha! According to the link you sent there was an addition to the workhouse there from 1858...2 years before he died. Thank you very much for your help! 😊😊😊

I will investigate whether there was a workhouse in Blockhouse...thank you very much for the tip! 😊
It would explain why he wasn't at home and why a random person was with him at death if he was admitted. 👍

I don't think it was part of the workhouse, from what I can gather Blockhouse was some "added on" bit of Worcester that used to be a load of fields?
Certainly NOT where my G.G.G. Grandmother lived!
He had a fever for 11 weeks according to the list of "causes of death"...would there have been a hospital in Blockhouse does anyone know - maybe this elusive Harriet person was a nurse??? Can't find her anywhere as far as census/BMD records go however.🤔

Worcestershire / Harriet Ann Cox, Clap Gate, Blockhouse

Hello!
Bit of a mystery here:
On my G.G.G. Grandfather's death certificate (Henry Dowler)it states that his death was registered on the 24th November 1860. Apparently he died in Clap Gate, Blockhouse and his death was registered by an "X" belonging to somebody called Harriet Ann Cox that was "present at death".
I have no idea who this person is being as my relative clearly didn't die at home with his wife. Neither can I find a "Harriet Ann" anyone in any record collection...

Any ideas appreciated!
Emma😊

Looks as if it might be:

"certificate of Baptism made for a man of the name of Mobberley [ Ismail? Samuel? ] Royston"


Not sure the bit after Mobberly is his name - could be where he is from?  Is this a note in the parish register?

I second this. ;)

My relatives lived in and around Birdport too. Unfortunately, most buildings within this area of Worcester were demolished during the slum clearance of the 1930s and so (though some streets remain) much of it does not...certainly none of my relatives' abodes. :(
