Nottinghamshire / Southwell Workhouse records
« on: Friday 15 February 13 09:36 GMT (UK)  »
Hi,
    I know that my grandmother Martha Bennett was admitted to the workhouse 5 Nov. 1943. Was it still classed as workhouse then or hospital?
    She died there 20 Dec. 1944.
    I believe she lived at Hucknall for a short time before admittance and before that at Mansfield Woodhouse. She was born in Sedgeley, Staffordshire.
    I have been told that no burrials took place at the workhouse. I have checked cemetery records for Hucknall and Mansfield with no result. Surely some record exists somewhere of what happened to her body.
    If it was classed as a hospital by then, why would records be withheld?

    any help at all please.............bigjon

Nottinghamshire / finding Percy 1891 and 1901
« on: Wednesday 30 January 13 08:49 GMT (UK)  »
Hi,
    I have Percy Watson b.1884 in Arnold,Notts.
    He died 1922 in Arnold.
    He married Hannah Noble and I have them on 1911 census living at Mansfield Woodhouse, Notts.
    I can't find him on 1891 or 1901 census........any ideas?
    I don't know why he died in Arnold as the rest of his family were still in Mansfield Woodhouse,    but we do know this is correct.
                                              thanks......bigjon

Nottinghamshire / What happened to Elizabeth?
« on: Friday 25 January 13 09:39 GMT (UK)  »
Hi all,
    I have Elizabeth Devey age 3 on 1891 census with parents Thomas and Jane living at Quarry Lane, Bullwell, Notts. On 1901 cesus, they still live on the same street but no mention of Elizabeth. There is however Mary age 15...... is this the same child? I cannot find a suitable death for Elizabeth between the census's.
    The ages for her parents also differ from those shown in 1901 and 1911.
    Mary Elizabeth Ward ( Ward is Janes maiden name ) does appear ( trouble tracing her birth ) and marries Alfred Chadburn Jarvis in Nottingham 1902 ( we know this is in our tree ) so is this Elizabeth Devey from 1891 cesus?

thanks for your help...........bigjon
