What was a hose hand in 1892 this lady worked at 10 Kills Yard, Millstone Lane. She lived in the Union Workhouse WSD what does WSD stand for.
-
Hosiery industry perhaps? Are there other similar occupations on the same page?
WSD could be the district.
-
Hi
I think she would have worked finishing off hose that had been knitted on machines. I also think it was probably USD rather than WSD which stands for Urban Sanitary District.
Hope this helps.

Thanks Sheila.
Is there any way of finding a register of people living in the Union Workhouse that has their age or date of birth, I am looking for Mary Carroll who gave birth to a Nora on 13/1/1892. No father listed
-
She may have just been in the workhouse to give birth then if that is the address on the birth certificate?
Have you found her on the 1891 census?
-
No there is a Maria but not Mary who would be the right age to bear a child, that’s why I was asking if there was a list with dob on
-
Here's one in 1891 Nottingham
William Redfern 67 head widower born Derbyshire
Mary Carroll 33 boarder single born Derbyshire
Think her occupation is hosiery something.

Leads back to this possible family in 1881
Patrick Carroll 50
Bridget 60
Mary 23 born Acklington Derbyshire doubler in cotton mill
Sarah A 21
Catherine 17

Thanks
The only problem is trying to tie the two people together

Who is Nora living with in 1901?

Hi
I can tell you that Nottingham Workshouse records are available at Nottinghamshire Archives. My Great Grandmother was in there with her children. She died there. The records show when they were admitted and why and when they are discharged and where to as far as i can remember. Some of the records may show a reputed father if a child is born in the workhouse. Sadly my husband's great grandfather was born in a different workhouse but the records for that one do not exist and we would have loved to have known who his reputed father was. None recorded on certificate and husband had been dead a quite a while.
Good luck

Can find her until 1911 census when she may have been in Croydon as a servant with Rotter family. after that she was in Southwell house giving birth in 1913 to Dorothy Lilian Carroll.
Unfortunately Sheila I don’t live near Nottingham to visit the archives, is there any data available online
-
Sorry, I'm not aware of any online records.

Where does the information that she worked at 10 Kills Yard come from :-\
-
From her daughters birth certificate
-
Birth certificates do not generally give an address for someones employment. It should show the place where the child was born and the address that the mother /informant was living. Where on the form is that address given
-
It states under 5 name, surname and maiden name of mother as follows -: Mary Carroll a Hose Hand of 10 Kills Yard Millstone Lane
It states under 7 signature description and residence of informant as follows-: M Carroll, mother Union Workhouse Nottingham

Sorry to keep asking questions. How long after the birth was it registered
-
She was born on 13/1/1892 birth registered on 16/1/1892
-
Thank you.
I would interpret that certificate as Nora being born in the workhouse and the birth being registered there 3 days later. The address of Kills Yard being the mothers normal place of residence to which she probably returned after the birth and not her place of employment.
-
I thought it was her place of employment as it states Hose Hand OF ( being the operative word) 10 Kills Yard.
I suppose it’s how you interpret it

In 1891 No 10 Hills Yard, Millstone Lane is at RG12/2696 f117 p4
It is occupied by Ellen Chambers, a 69 year old Widow occ Needlework -bn Ireland. She has a lodger Ann Ball age 63 born Nottingham
-
Interesting, who was there in 1901
-
You will need to 'trawl' Millstone Lane to find it, that is how I located it in 1891.
