Lost Summers

[martinsummers]

( Mary ) Louisa Summers b1870 in Plymouth is shown in Plymouth Workhouse with 2 month old, illegitimate daughter, Florence in the 1891 Census.
I am unable to find any later record of either of these girls. I have tried the 1901 and 1911 census. Death and marriage records, but nothing comes to light.
Sadly, I believe the workhouse records were lost in 1941, and no adoption records seem likely at that time. Like wise, with no fathers name on the birth record, bastardy bonds seem unlikely.
I would be grateful to hear from anyone who can suggest what happened to either of these individuals.
A similar situation exists with the grandmother of the above girls. Caroline Harrington was born illegitimate, in East Stonehouse in 1851. She does not seem to appear anywhere in the 1861 census.
Many thanks
Martin Summers

Thank you Carole. I had noticed that entry, but have been unable to connect it to anything else in any way. I guess it might be part of the jig saw but, how and where, seems to be elusive.
Thanks again.

There is a female servant, Harrington, age 13, born Devon, living in Holme, Totnes in 1861.

A possibility? If there was uncertainty about her first name, how accurate are the other details?

Brentor boy, Thanks, Caroline Harrington's later life is well documented. Probably because of her illegitamacy, however, she doesn't appear in either the 1851 or 1861 census, so her upbringing is far from clear.
Thanks again.

Brentor boy, I'll give the Harrington near Totnes another look, thanks.

Brentor boy,

sadly I don't think you Totnes suggestion will help. I think it is for a Jioanna Harrington born in Guernsey.

Thanks again for the help

I have a birth certificate for Caroline dated a few days before the 1851 census, in East Stonehouse, but she doesn't appear in that census, despite the fact that her mother does.
