Birth Thomas Clarke Bradford

[Gibel]

Thomas appears to have gone to Wales in a placement when leaving the home. His brother William goes to Ryhill Wakefield.

1901 census 7 Fountain Court Leeds

William T Beaumont Head married 50 born Netherton Yorkshire
Elizabeth Beaumont wife married 36 born Berwick Northumberland
Thomas Beaumont son 10
William S Beaumont son 6
Harriet Beaumont daughter 8
Anne Beaumont daughter 1
All children born Bradford

[Neale1961]

Date the boys were admitted to the home was 4 Feb 1904
Neither child had a home and both had been taken about the country by the mother on begging expeditions

The mother was sent to Inebriate home for 2 yrs and 3 years.

On the record for Thomas, there is mention of Mr John Jones in Llandilo, South Wales. To me, it is unclear if that is where the mother ended up, or where Thomas was sent.
Probably Thomas.

[Neale1961]

William Tell BEAUMONT (the husband on 1901 census posted above)
was a milk dealer on the baptism of the daughter Annie in Oct 1899 in Leeds

[Gibel]

Harriet in 1911 is a between maid at a small school in Park Crescent Southport

Annie in 1911 is in a Leeds Union Scattered Home at 310 York Road Leeds with a foster mother and 6 other girls
 
William’s birth reg states mother’s maiden name Lines and Annie’s gives Lyons.

[Neale1961]

There is a burial for a William Beaumont (correct age with census) in Leeds on 8 Jan 1904
Address - General Infirmary; occupation labourer


The Jan 1904 death date would make sense with the children being taken into care in Feb 1904

Good find that Neale 1961.

I wonder what Elizabeth’s real name was?

Must stop now but I do enjoy a good chase for family!

They’re all stated to speak Welsh and English and all born Llandilo but…………

I really am stopping now!

Couldn’t sleep

Elizabeth Beaumont marries again on 6 Jan 1908 to Thomas Henry Welsh at All Saints Leeds. She states her father is Andrew Lyons which ties in with 2 of her children on the GRO BMD Indexers having Lines and Lyons as the mother’s maiden.

I searched for Elizabeth Lyons in Berwick father Andrew and there she is christened 9 Sept 1869 at the parish church Berwick upon Tweed Northumberland and with her parents on the 1871 census.

.... while I was out running errands ---- Gibel has posted excellent work. What progress!!
Off to bed now, Gibel, unless the brain is still firing on all cylinders.


Yes, "Plasbach" is the name of the place in Llandilo - written on 1904 Children Centre document for Thomas. I could not make out what it said.
