FH Documents and Artefacts / Re: A unusual swaddling doll
« on: Monday 28 February 22 20:47 GMT (UK) »
Hi, Victoria, babies are still swaddled in the UK. However, not that often nowadays. The friends who found this doll are not nervous or spooked they are just intrigued and trying to find a logical explanation as to why it has suddenly turned up in the room. Thanks Kathb.

Thank you Victoria for your explanation. It is interesting and obviously a possibility. This doll was found in a locked room at a friends house. It was not in the room the previous day. All very odd. I have some contacts looking at the age of the material used for the swaddling. If I gain any more information I will update this post.
Thank you.
Thank you.

FH Documents and Artefacts / A unusual swaddling doll

I hope some Rootschatters can help. We wonder on the history of this doll. It is a very different facial presentation from most. We also wonder if the swaddling gives any sign of age etc. hello appreciated. Thanks

I have just spoken to a friend who was a nurse at Cranage for some years. She has checked with an ex colleague (Sarah) Cranage closed at the end of March 1995. Sarah said she switched the lights out on the way out. Hope this helps.

Cheshire / Re: Cheshire County Mental Hospital Patient Death 1929

Hi, Cheshire Archives are your best option for information. There are registers of entry to the Asylum which survive, I found some limited information concerning a great aunt in them. Just to say that there is a 100 year rule on disclosure of information on some records. It’s of note that your relative was very young to have suffered from this condition. I do wonder if this diagnosis was just ‘tacked on’ to his death certificate as in those days a more refined diagnosis may not have been available. Cheshire Archive staff are very helpful. Good Luck.

Have just looked at the front page of the enumeration book for this area of Macclesfield. It shows that the residence of William Carlino was the Certified Industrial School of Macclesfield.

There was also a workhouse in Macclesfield and residents were also described as inmates.
