Find Ancestors

Have a look at this thread started by Wendy. You could but ask if she can look up anything re workhouses for you at the Archives.

My great grandad died in the Workhouse Infirmary early 1900's. He lived in the Sneinton area but was admitted to Bagthorpe Workhouse Infirmary quite some distance away. This later became part of the Sherwood Hospital/City Hospital site. I have found his death there as I knew what date I was looking for, but ran out of time last time I was in Nottingham to work back to find his admission.

There is a good site re Nottingham workhouses to look at below

Actually, it looks like the other child was Sidney Huthwaite, born 1903 - in the same workhouse as John William

You're welcome Brian.

Looks like your mother-in-law had more than 1 sibling, according to the 1911 census image her mother states she has had 4 children, one of which had died - so that leaves one missing.

To both Astra and Flip Flop: I greatly appreciate your replies which were prompt and full of info. As we live in Australia, the internet is our only means of getting info from authoritative sources, and will follow up on the leads you have both provided.
Many thanks for the help you have given, and since it is the first time I have used this service, you have given me encouragement to use it again when necessary in the future!

Kind regards,
Brian <3

I don't think the records have survived:

Records
• Nottinghamshire Archives and Southwell Diocesan Record Office

County House, Castle Meadow Road, Nottingham NG2 1AG. Virtually no records survive — only local holding is: Indoor relief list (1879-80).

There is an older child on the 1901 census John W (1900), he is in the workhouse school in 1911 - Hartley Road, Nottingham - so maybe ask to get their records checked, she may have gone to same workhouse.

Mother Edith Kate Eliza died in 1914 - (wife of William), but probate was granted to William Mills (bricklayer) - so possibly Mary was admitted a bit later than you thought.

Hi Brian

The work house records might be held by the Nottinghamshire council. If you E mail them they should be able to tell you where they are and how you can get the information you need.

In the 1911 census Mary Annie is with her mother Edith

I am trying to get information for my wife about her mother who was taken to a workhouse probably near to Sneinton about 1911. If some kind person could do a look up of workhouse records for Mary Annie Huthwaite around 1911, she would have been there until about 1921. My wife would be very grateful. Info on line tells me that such records can only be accessed personally as they are not digitized and not available on the net. Many thanks. :-)
