Canada / Re: Culverhouse 'home children'
« on: Sunday 07 May 23 13:52 BST (UK)  »
Thanks for everyone's help, I now have the births, deaths and marriages plus most of the relevant information (Workhouses, schools etc) for all except the 2 boys who were sent to Canada, Henry George and Rupert Victor. Thanks to your help we got them as far as 1919 by which time they are in their teens and most likely went to farms or factories as labourers.
The most recent update was George Harold Culverhouse 30 Sep 1911 Pancras 1b 9 mother Young.
He married Mary Dutton Jan 1950 Ealing 5e 149 and died Nov 1999 Fulham 93a 138 age 88.
Just as a matter of interest and the main reason I am researching Culverhouse's world wide my mother was Edith Culverhouse born in Watford union workhouse 8 July 1916 but luckily she and my grandmother Edith Emily were claimed by my great grandfather John Culverhouse. Thanks again all.

Still working on it, just to save time for anyone else the Dec 1924 marriage to Mary Peace (Islington 1b 433) is not our Albert Edward.
Just seen the post for Percy he kept the name Culverhouse He married Daisy Florence (Queenie) Peters Oct 1948 Brighton 5h 120 and died Oct 1978 Brighton 18 242 age 71 date of birth entered as 17 Aug 1907 (birth registered Sep 1907 Fulham 1a 286 as Warren)
Added, just found Percy still using surname Culverhouse 1921 Bridge training home, Witham, Essex.  States that both parents are alive but in fact they are both deceased.

I have Sarah Culverhouse death Jun 1920 Pancras 1b 37 age 43 but she often uses 1876 to 1878 as year of birth.

Update, thanks to all, PB was on the right track with the 1901 split, Sarah actually had 1 daughter and 7 sons.
First 3 children father Edward John Culverhouse:- Edith Louisa 1894-1984, Edward James 1898-1966, Rupert Victor 1900-1900 all registered as Culverhouse at Pancras.
Next 4 children to unknown Warren :- Albert Edward 1901-??, Henry George 1902-??, Rupert Victor 1904-??, Percy Cecil 1907-1978 all births registered at Fulham all with surname Warren but using surname Culverhouse apart from 1911 census.
The last son George Harold 1911-1999 registered as Culverhouse at Pancras again. Did Sarah go back to her husband ?
Without buying a bunch of birth certificates we shall probably never know.
Sadly we have not found Albert, Henry or Rupert after 1919.
Thanks once again for all the feedback.

Okay now I am confused because Sarah Edith and 4 sons also appear in Pancras workhouse 13 Aug 1912 all surname Culverhouse. So why is she using Warren? Having said that all four boys have 'illeg' attached to them. Thanks for the Brisbane update, I had Sarah's parents And Christening but had not seen the Australia connection. Thanks again.

Thanks to all for trying, my first thought was that they were adopted and used a different surname so will be vary hard to trace but the Hancock link looks promising for Henry and I will follow that up.
Such a sad story and a terrible childhood they must have endured.
Edward John Culverhouse 1871-1915 married Sarah Edith Young 1873-1920 qtr ending Sep 1894 Pancras 1b 321. They had 1 daughter and 6 sons which Edward was incapable of supporting and between 1901 and 1912 were regular visitors to the workhouse which Edward himself managed to stay clear of by lodging with his married sister and in 1911 is living with one of his sons Edward James and has entered widower on census form when in fact Sarah and 4 sons are in the workhouse entered as homeless.
As time goes by the children are separated from the mother and each other and the last entry for Ashford school (run by Pancras workhouse) has Henry and Rupert selected for emigration whilst their brother Albert Edward 1899 (again birth not registered) was put up for adoption and untraceable. Thanks again for the help I will keep trying. Pete

Canada / Culverhouse 'home children'
« on: Tuesday 02 May 23 22:22 BST (UK)  »
Hi all, looking for brothers Henry George Culverhouse 14 Oct 1902 St Pancras and Rupert Victor Culverhouse 15 Jul 1904 I realise there is a 'home children' page on Rootschat but they are not there.
I have the full history of their early lives which was spent mostly in workhouses and workhouse schools. Neither births are registered and eventually they were separated from their mother and siblings and sent to Canada 1914 arriving 21 May 1914 Ontario aboard Virginian. Their last known destination was Marchmont home, Belleville, Ontario. Any help greatly appreciated.
P.S. this is not the Rupert Victor Culverhouse 1900/1900 he was a brother who died as an infant. I have the full history of the only other Culverhouse home child Frederick Thomas (not related) who went on to marry and serve in the Royal Canadian Army. Thanks

Nottinghamshire / Re: Benigna Burton about 1756 Nottingham
« on: Monday 24 April 23 18:35 BST (UK)  »
Thanks all, I will keep searching, the second son Joseph married Elizabeth Crowder (not Crowther as some trees have) 5 Jul 1802 • St. John the Evangelist, Carlton in Lindrick, Nottinghamshire (grooms parish Radford) and their daughter Margaret married James Crabtree who is my direct ancestor. Thanks again, Pete.
P.S. the rare name Benigna is of Italian origin and means 'kind' or 'of this place' but I was surprised how many there are on freeBMD.
I have now found this site https://www.nottingham.ac.uk/manuscriptsandspecialcollections/documents/collectionsindepth/nonconformistchurchregisters/cu-r-3-1baptisms.pdf
Unfortunately some records are missing but there were 5 Burton's baptised there in the 1750's sadly Benigna is not amongst them.
