Shropshire / Re: Berrington Workhouse

Hi I have a similar situation a Thomas Henry Abbott was born to my friends grandmother in 1904 at the same workhouse and she suspects that he was the illigitimate child of one of the Berwicks who lived at Attingham Hall and was a aristocratic family in that time, cover ups were always around at this time just a suggestion maybe the father was a very important person who did not wish to be identified. In the case of Thomas Abbott the records for the workhouse for 1904 are missing? Hope this helps.

Thank you for replying. My query is quite complicated because the person I am trying to get the records for from the workhouse, could be the illigitimate child of a Berwick, who were big in the Shropshire Society scene. If I can get to the Shropshire Records Office I will help you too.

Thanks again

Re Dark Lane, I am researching the Preen family and there is a Dark Lane in Stourport on Severn and my ancestors owned a Tannery down there. Just out of interest there is no mention of either a Tannery or the Preen family in the book you mention is there? Many thanks Angjim
