There is a 1927 probate for Eliza Burdon Hubble of Osborne house, Pevensey Bay. If you find her in 1911 she was Head of a children's convalescent home.

The Common Room / Re: 1921 census
« on: Friday 07 January 22 16:39 GMT (UK) »Have you tried using the national archives catalogue for piece descriptions?
Well I've made a little progress today. The National Archives just refer me to FindMyPast, but I found that Registration Districts and Sub-Districts for 1921 are listed in an article on FindMyPast.
So I can tell that RD191 and SD1 are Romford. But then I knew that already, because the cover page in the extra materials on FindMyPast, on which the RD,SD and ED appear, also has Romford South Ward written on it.
I've also downloaded 256MB of materials consisting of completion instructions and other administrative information for the 1921 Census from the National Archives (free). Looking through that confirms that the page I am trying to find the address for is part of a single book issued to an institution, and that the Enumeration District in that case was likely to have been solely allocated to that institution, so should be able to give me its name and address.
But nowhere can I find a list of Enumeration District allocations. The district map is no help, as it shows the Enumeration District covering the whole of Romford, with a handwritten note that the scale is too small for anything further to be shown.
So I'm pretty certain that ED 31 in the Romford South Ward is either the Romford Union Workhouse or a Romford Union Scattered Children's Home. But which?
If only the person who completed the forms had filled in the address on the correct page
In case it helps... Arthur Hesford b.c1866 was the Master of the Romford Union workhouse. Can you see what ED he's in without paying to download?
