What is a 'Halfway House'?

[barryd]

A Halfway House in Modern American -

A halfway house is an institute for people with criminal backgrounds or drug abuse tendencies to learn the necessary skills to re-integrate into society and better support and care for themselves.

Hi EB.

I havent looked at Bishops Transcripts only on FreeREG as I posted so only quoting what volunteer transcribers have put on there.

I am in OZ so just help here and there but leave it up to others to find the actual images for their Trees.
Which I am glad to see you have done.

Hi Trish!

After lots of searching I eventually found the images I was looking for. All of the children died quite young which is really sad, apart from Thomas Henry as I still haven’t found a record of death for him. But thanks so much for your help, I am in Oz too!

Here, on the Isle of Man, there were a number of establishments called "Halfway House".
They were coaching inns, situated obviously halfway between 2 towns.

There are 3 mentioned in "A Time of Manx Cheer" - a history of the main brewery here.
Others changed their names over time; but a few still have "Halfway House" painted on the gable ends.

There is also the "Rest And Be Thankful", halfway up the hill out of Ramsey, towards Laxey!
