Workhouse Discharge Records
« on: Tuesday 19 July 22 21:08 BST (UK) »
Hi everyone,
I'm new here!
During lockdown, there were a number of resources that were offered online for free. At the time I located a Workhouse Discharge record for someone that I thought may have been my great grandmother but I dismissed it as I didn't have a lot of information about her and i never made a note of the info. I've now come to the conclusion that this was her. I remember that the record showed her being released into the care of her father but I cannot find it anywhere.
Can anyone suggest what source I should look to for this kind of information? I've found her in the Tunbridge union workhouse on the 1901 census and from what I recall, the other record I'm referring to showed her being discharged from Marylebone School in about 1906. Thanks in advance.

Hi
Welcome to Rootschat  :D

I imagine it was these records on Ancestry

They seem to be free again at the moment along with other London Metropolitan Archives records

Thank you for your advice Jan. I've searched and searched these records and I can't find the information I thought I found previously. Maybe I imagined it!

Hi ALM, welcome to Rootschat!
You haven't given her name in your post.
If you do that, somebody else might be able to find the record.

Hi again
As Goldie suggests if you give her name someone else maybe able to locate her again - I'm sure you didn't imagine it!

It would be worth looking for her in the Poor Law records as well

Thanks both.
She was listed on the 1901 census as Kathleen Kurn, 1 month old, in the Tunbridge Union Workhouse with her mother, Rose. From what I can remember, I believe she was transferred to St Marylebone School and was discharged from there to her father's care in about 1905/6. Her father's surname was Keleher, but there are numerous variations on the spelling.
Thanks Jan, I'll have a look at the poor law records.
