Westminster workhouse lookup

[philipsearching]

I have seen a note of two entries for Basil Sandys in the London workhouse records.

Please could a kind Rootschatter let me know the details.  I estimate the dates between 1839 and 1855 - probably around Westminster.

Many thanks
Philip

Basil Sandys 66 and Mary Ann Sandys 65 were discharged on 15.6.1840 - no admission date

This is the record of two children aged under 16 discharged on 15 June 1840 from the Stepney workhouse to the Limehouse Children's Establishment (65 and 66 are the numbers in the Relief List). They were chargeable to Mile End.

Oh boy - what a divvy I am    Thought they were his parents!!

Mary Ann appears to have been admitted 15th June and young Basil 17th June

The 1843 admission may be your man. He was born in 1800, Catholic, and was chargeable to Ireland. He was admitted to the Castle Street workhouse in Westminster, managed by St Martin in the Fields poor-law union, on 8 July (which was a Saturday), and was described as 'partially disabled' through 'sickness'. The day-book shows he was admitted 'until Monday', but the A&D register shows that he wasn't discharged until 31 July. No destination stated.

Banns entry

Basil Sandys / Caroline Greenhill 29 Mar 1840 St Mary, Lambeth

No actual marriage entry to Caroline but he married Catherine Otter 19.3.1855 St Anne Soho
 
In 1851 Catherine Otter b 1819 and shown as married was in the St Giles WH

[CaroleW]

There is a tree on Family Search showing his ancestry but they seem to have got his 1855 marriage wrong.  Right date but Catherine is shown as Birmingham/Gillespie and no mention of Otter
