I am unsure if this is the correct place to post my query as I have not posted for some time. I am researching what happened to my grandfathers sister Charlotte Lee from Ely who became Charlotte Antonio. I found her on the ST Olave
workhouse records in London in October 1909. It states her birth year as 1961 which is not quite right. The records state she was moved to Ladywell which I believe was a hospital connected to workhouse. I have not been able to find her death yet and would like some guidance to find out where she was buried and when. Thank you.

On the workhouses website, http://www.workhouses.org.uk/StOlave/, it states:
In 1897-1900, another infirmary was erected at Ladywell intended solely for the occupation of the aged and infirm, and possibly the only such establishment of it's type.
Plenty of pictures on the website! ;D
It foes on to say the Ancestry holds the London Workhouse Admission and Discharge Records (1738-1930).
Incidentally, St Olave is in Surrey, and you shouldn't be posting to a "Completed Lookup Requests" board ;)

Hi,
If the St Olave workhouse records don't have it quite right, what is the correct year of her birth?
Was she using the name ANTONIO or LEE then?
Cheers

Who/where was husband?
-
1891?
244 Cable Street, St Geo in the East
Andrew Antonio 34 coffee house keeper bn West Indies
Charlotte 33 wife bn Cambridgeshire Ely
I expect you already have these, but it will help people in the search to know more about her.
Strange that the workhouse record (when sent to Ladywell 16th Oct 1909) says in the column headed relatives that she has "NONE"
Presumably her brother or nephews or nieces were still around somewhere. Even if her husband had disappeared off the scene.

thank you for the reply. Charlotte was indeed married to Andrew Antonio but he died in 1903 in hospital and she was not the informant to his death.
. Somewhere on the Newspapers archive there is a report stating that Charlotte was attacked by a man and she broke hger leg. It may have been because her husband was of West Indian birth. I cannot find my copy of this report at the moment. I believe Charlotte may have lied about her age and made herself younger. I have her dob as 1858 era in Ely Cambs. Thats where all her family came from. I too saw the comment of no family which was not true. Her brother my grandad lived in Poplar London but I do not know if he knew where she was. I have not found her death yet but maybe she was incorrectly listed. I was hoping that there are records of Ladywell lodge to see where she went after October 1909.
