Bedfordshire Lookup Requests / St Neots workhouse
« on: Sunday 05 June 11 20:48 BST (UK)  »
Does anyone know if there is a transcribed list of inmates of St Neots workhouse?
I have a Daniel Isitt  a boarder aged 10, an Ag Lab, on the 41 census in Kimbolton.
It says he is born out of the county. On one later census he says he is born in Bedfordshire and others in Kimbolton.
I cannot find any earlier information on him anywhere and wonder if he was a child that was taken from the workhouse to work for the family that he boarded with. I cannot find that he has any connection to this family.
There doesn't appear to be any other Isitt families in the neighbourhood on any census, apart from his own family, so he is a bit of a mystery. He married and spent the remainder of his life in Kimbolton.
Thanks Carose

Nottinghamshire Lookup Requests / Re: Baptism at Walesby church, Notts

Hi.... Sorry for butting in but I'm searching for the family of a convict "Amos Cowles" who was apparently a shoemaker from Gloucestershire. I'd guess his birth date to be about 1802. Convicted in Waterloo (City) Quarter Sessions 13th Jan 1823 to seven years. He arrived in Sydney August 26th 1823 aboard `Henry I`.

Just a chance that he may fit into a known family.

Hi Rob,
Although my Cowles are from Glos. I haven't come across Amos. Mine were from Westerleigh and I think before this, maybe Siston, in the late 1700's. As I don't live in the area, I don't have access to the records.

 Carol,  Thanks so much for checking that for me.  I guess that is the reason why I don't appear to have the date of the christening. I am sure I would have looked for it when I visited the archives, but it is a few years ago.
I have the marriage certs of her parents and grandparents, even her mothers baptism, but no baptism of  Mary Jane and her siblings.
Maybe they didn't bother or maybe it happened somewhere else. I traced their ancestors back to Treswell and Kirton and Edwinstowe so possibly there.  The family  moved to Ollerton, where several children were born and later some in Sheffield, so I will keep looking.
thanks again
from Carol

Nottinghamshire Lookup Requests / Baptism at Walesby church, Notts

I wonder if anyone has the baptism records for Walesby church in Nottinghamshire [not the Lincolnshire one] I have been going through my family info, that I found when I used to visit Nottingham archives from Sheffield, and find that I don't have the baptism of my greatgrandmother, Mary Jane Smith. Her parents were George and Mary Smith, nee Fairham.
Mary Jane was born in Walesby in 1862. I have looked on the internet but it doesn't appear to be on Familysearch or the Hugh Wallis site.

Yorkshire (West Riding) Lookup Requests / Re: mexborough schools

Thanks Evie,
Some of those other streets are familiar to me as I have come across them on census while researchimg the family of Josephs mother, Ada Cooper. She and some of her family lived at some of them at various times in her rather chequered  life as a boarder, inbetween having various children to I assume a variety of fathers. She  was always referred to as a domestic housekeeper, but who knows.

Yorkshire (West Riding) Lookup Requests / mexborough schools
« on: Thursday 12 August 10 09:19 BST (UK)  »
Can anyone tell me if there were many schools in Mexborough circa 1922?
I visited Doncaster archives and searched through an admission book for Mexbro National school but didn't find the person that I was looking for. Although he didn't appear in the index, I searched the book from 1922 - 1924. The archives don't have any other books for this period and couldn't tell me if there were any other schools. It would be an infant school.
I am looking for any information on Joseph Cooper who was born in 1917 to Ada Cooper nee Holbrook and who died in Sep. 1924 aged 7, after an appendicitis operation in Mexbro Montague hospital.
As his mother had died in Jan 1924 aged 39 and he had no other relatives, I am also trying to find out who the person was who was present at his death and who lived at the same address of 2, Wilson Street, an  A. E. Fletcher. I believe this was a woman, as I think I have found her living in Armley on the 1911 census, again as just A.E. Fletcher.
I would also like to hear from anyone who might be connected to this person.
Thanks, carose
