Hi all, I have had some great tips from you fab researchers so here goes . . . .
I am researching the Graham family from Middlesbrough, bit stuck on a few, starting with Isabella
Born 16 December 1927, Middlesbrough, mother Isabella LLEWELLYN father Albert GRAHAM.
this is the info I received from Middlesbrough workhouse recording her admissions to childrens home after her parents died;
dis 04/02/1942 to service
adm 12/02/1942 returned from service
dis 08/08/1942 to Municipal Hosp
adm 11/08/1942 from M Hosp
dis 26/12/1943 to West Lane Hosp
adm 06/10/1944 from employment
dis 13/10/1944 to work at York Blind School
adm 29/11/1944 returned from York Blind School
dis 23/04/1945 to service at Holyrood Orphanage
adm 04/06/1945 from Holyrood Orphanage
dis 04/08/1945 to Holgate Institution (Adult Workhouse)
its sad that the last record we have for her is admission to the workhouse. I cannot find any record of a marriage or death from Tees Valley Index.
I am still looking for her grandparents marriage; james henry graham b 1859 barnard castle to sarah ann Rhodes b 1858 Manchester (or cottesmore rutland, whichever census to believe!)
thank you xx

Possible marriage in Chorlton March qtr 1879 on FreeBMD vol 8c page 817. Two of the possible spouses are James Graham and Sarah Rhodes.

thank you, I did see that one but not sure as there are no middle names x

It's possible that Isabella never married and is still alive , 1927 birth would make her 87 this December , your post may be amended , as RC doesn't allow info for living people on the forum . Maybe Electoral rolls for Middlesborough may be of use ,

yes that's something worth trying, thank you
