The Common Room / Another workhouse question
« on: Wednesday 05 August 20 20:46 BST (UK) »
Hi all, two questions,
First does anyone know what the address below was in the 1920's. I don't know if it's a shelter, foster home or something else, I can not find any information about it.
53 Mount Pleasant Lane, Upper Clapton run by a Mrs Wren.
Second if a child went into Hackney cottage homes in the 1920's from the workhouse could the mother get the child back at a later date.
Thanks

Thank you that's what was confusing me as I didnt expect to see institution listed before the changes to the names around 1930.

The child was being discharged from Homerton, Hackney to cottage homes and it gives the mothers location as HUC Institution.

On a workhouse record in 1923 the location of Mother is listed as HUC Institution, is this the Hackney workhouse or asylum. On other records it has stated workhouse, this is the first one with institution on.

The Common Room / Workhouse Initials

On the workhouse discharge column is the initials HLH (I think) what do these stand for. I know the OR listed is own request and Infy is infirmary it's the HLH I can't work out.
