In the 1841 Census Maria Fosdike, Born: 1829 (Who i cant not find a birth record for) is living at Tollesbury Street, Maldon, Essex... With 15 under 16year olds & 5 Adults none of them are related to her & in the orignal census i think one of the adults occupation is a school mistress but i am unsure... ive search on google to try & find out what this place is but i cant find anything... I'm thinking it was either a boarding school, Work house or Orphanage but if anyone can help & has any idea what it is let me no! Thanks
