Yes-it was attached to the workhouse.It was the infirmary where people from the area went for births,illnesses etc.Annie was still living at Collington forge when she died- her daughter's husband was the blacksmith after my GGG grandfather.

George Mills senior died on or around July 22nd 1920. He was 58 yrs old and his grave is in Collington St Marys churchyard. His wife Annie died March 1926
 their son Albert Ernest died aged 23 in March 1923.
 Another son, John died in June 1946- all still living in the same general area .

Help! I've been researching what became of the 10 children of George and Annie Mills,living at The Forge Collington Herefordshire on 1901 and 1911 census records. I have information on most of them
but lose three of the older brothers who appear to have vanished from history. All would have been old enough to fight in WW1 but I can't find service, death or pensions records or anything on any war memorial I can track but also no subsequent marriage, children or death records either. I can't believe all 3 vanished without a trace so there has to be something I'm missing.

I'm looking for ;
James Edward Mills born Tenbury district of Worcestershire in 1894. He was James on 1901 census but Edward on the 1911 census living in Collington, a keepers assistant age 17 years.

Thomas Mills born 1893, again at Tenbury and living at Collington in 1911 age 19, a farm assistant.He had a twin-John,who was buried at St Marys Collington in 1946.

George Henry Mills born Tenbury district 1891. Emigrated to Canada aboard The Virginian in April 1914 but returned, after war was declared, aboard The Missanabie into Liverpool on 28th November 1914. After this, no trace!

Whilst I'm aware that any service records might well have been destroyed, I'm puzzled that I can find absolutely nothing at all about all three and would welcome any suggestions.

Oh Thank you! how on Earth did I miss that? St Johns was the first place I looked!
she only had 2 children and only one survived.There were no children from her 1st marriage. She took in her sister Edith's children -my mother being one of them- as they were very little when Edith died.
She had already lost both her husbands by then.

From his school records, I have the possible birth date 21st Jan 1891 (then under Henry Mills)
His father George died 22nd July 1920 and is buried at Collington St Marys church but I don't know who the informant was and I've not found a will as yet.My info came from the church records.
