Title: Inmate Romford Union House.
Post by: Janae on Thursday 15 December 11 22:08 GMT (UK)
1881 census has Susan Parker,  widowed,  an inmate at the Romford Union house.
Has anyone access to any records which could tell me when she became an inmate there and when she presumably died there.
Her husband was George Parker but I don't know when he died.
Any information about either of them would be most appreciated.
Thanks........Janae.

Thank you,  that is a possibility but may be about 5 years too old.

Thank you.  I wonder if they are together in the 1871 Census.

You have knocked down a few brickwalls for me.

That is incredible.  Susan is my great great grandmother's sister.  There are arguments in the family as to whether their maiden name was Robins or Roberts.  Some records seem too indicate  Robins and some indicate Roberts.  We knew that their parents were James and Elizabeth and think that they had at least one sibling, James.  We think that my great grandmother was born in Essex in 1816 but we do not  have proof.
I can't thank you enough for all of your help.
