Hi Osprey,

Thank you so much for the web details you have sent to me in reply to my Hathway query - and for checking out the letters on the census  - all very helpful.

No, I don`t have birth certs for any of them  and as you have suggested, I will get Edwins as that might be the clue I am looking for..........I am learning that lateral thinking is the name of this game!!
Again, thank you for your help, very much appreciated.

Eeeek...................about 3 months ago I thought I would look into my family history - my other half is so pleased I`ve found a nice pleasant pastime..................should I tell him now or later that I will be wound up with frustration for the foreseeable future because of possibly/ could be/solid brick walls etc etc....... and permanantly attached to the laptop............. ???

Gloucestershire / Alfred Hathway (b1848) -Yate Union Workhouse
« on: Saturday 11 June 11 10:48 BST (UK)  »
Hi all,

I have traced my ancester Alfred Hathway (born abt1848) to the Yate Union workhouse near Bristol - Can anyone tell me what records the workhouse would have held and who holds them now?
He is listed at the workhouse on the 1851 census next to:-
Eliza Hathway(b1825 Wick and Abson)- Could say U for unmarried or M for married???
Sophia Hathway (b1846 Wick and Abson)
Edwin Hathway (b1850 Yate)
I am thinking they are all the same family even though it doesn`t say that on the census. I am now wondering where to look for the next clue........would the workhouse have held details as to families that have entered a workhouse together?
Who holds parish records?? is it the main records office or the church??

Lots for me to learn!!
