I am wondering if anyone can check the information held for Isaac Parker born 1831 in the Manchester Workhouse records. I would just like to know what information is held
-
Information held on the transcript is:
Forename
Surname
Age
Date of Birth Year (not always completed)
From Whence Admitted
Locality of Record (seems to mean which workhouse?)
Date of Admission
Place
County
Title of Records
Film (reference number)
Date Range
Number
Images of the original pages are also held. Information on the sample I looked at:
Date of Entry
Date of Admission
Name
Age
From Whence Admitted
Religious Creed
Name of informant (column on the page I looked at had "mother" or "self")
Discharged or Dead (date of)

thanks for your help. I think I need to subscribe.

Hi
Before you do subscribe, check out your local library, some of them are starting to offer free access within the library as well as Ancestry Library Edition.
I couldn't check for you as you haven't updated our profile so we don't know where in the world you are ;)

hello
records just keep repeating the same,admitted himself and came from hulme.
regards lee

I think you might be better of going and accessing them in person
did he continue to live in the workhouse,
did he return to Hulme,
This Isaac is born Ireland 1827 ,1861 census
Isaac Gibson Parker ,cabinet maker of Wood Street Hulme and his wife Elizabeth
have a large family and the children are all baptised together at St Stephens in 1870,

hello
isaac entered workhouse first in 1878 and stayed a few months then again in 1882, he admitted himself and was a roman catholic he went in the final time in 1893 and stayed until he died on 5 april 1899.
hope this helps

thanks very much for all the help. I am now almost sure this is not my Isaac.. I have come across Isaac Gibson Parker before. My ancestor was born near Ribchester, lancashire, and lived at Chorlton on Medlock with wife Sarah. thanks again, and I will go check the records for myself to be certain.
