Hi KiwiJane

The  1911 Census can be accessed at http://www.1911census.co.uk/

I think the information for the Orphanage has  been added recently as I did  not find these two children when I first searched the census.

By searching online I have found general information about the orphanage.  Seems many boys entered the R.N. after they left. My great uncle entered the R.N. at the age of 16 and was killed in the First World War.

I have just found my great aunt and uncle on the 1911 Census.  Both were residents of the Seamen's and General Orphans Asylum.  According to the 1911 Census, their mother was a widow and living in a four room house on Crowle Street. The children also had several siblings who were married and living in Hull.

I have several questions:
1. Why would these children be in the orphanage?  Could they have been removed from their mother?
2. What were the conditions in the orphanage at this time.
3.  Have any members of the forum accessed the records of the Orphanage at the Hull Archives?  What information did you find?
4.  As I live in Canada what is the best way for me to obtain the records of these children?

Thanks
Wendy

Could someone please help me with an 1861 Census lookup?
In the 1851 Bramley Yorkshire Census Jeremiah Yeadon, age 7 months, and Selina Yeadon, age 4, are listed as the children of Benjamin and Mary Ann Yeadon.
They do not appear in the 1861 Census with their family.
My question is:  Where are they?
Some possibilities: 1.  They both died.
                              2.  Benjamin and Mary Ann are not their parents and the children are listed elsewhere on the 1861 Census.
                              3. The information I have from the 1861 Census is incorrect.

I would appreciate any help you can give me in tracing these children.
Thank-you
Wendy,Toronto
