If you are still looking, the workhouse is at RG13/3598 folio 91 page 1.  Richard France is the workhouse master

Thankyou :) ive just seen it now, R. France was the master on Lillians death certificate so he was there when she died, sadly i cant see her parents on it. The search continues!

Is the daughter you mention Mary Ann Young? 

Sorry bit in the dark here but if you can provide more detailed information for us happy to search further.

The daughter was Lillian who was 14. Mary Ann (Young) was living with her sister at aged 8 in the 1901 ( Mary Ann is my 2nd gr grandmother)

What was his occupation/birthplace please?

Is Mary a widow in 1921?

No she was married, Thomas only died in 1936 in the Workhouse, she was on the census as visitor and a servant.

Where were Thomas & Mary born?  What was her maiden name?  When & where did they marry? 

No Thomas Heaton birth in Leigh 1856-1858 on freebmd

Thomas was born in Wigan 1857, retired coal Hewer on his death cert at 702 leigh road which is the workhouse.

His wife was Mary Ann Buckley born 1858 in Oldham ( shes/ the buckley side has been a struggle on their own to figure out over the years!) i found her in the 1921 census but lost her in the 1901 and 1911 with Thomas.

They married in 1877 in Ashton in Makerfield, Wigan.

Who are you looking for?  Census searches are mainly by name but only FindMyPast allow a census search by address for the 1901

I have Heaton relatives who seemed to be linked to there, a child died there in 1901 just before the census, but in the 1901 or 1911 census i cant find Thomas Heaton (b 1857) or Mary A Heaton (b 1858), their other children in the 1901 were dotted around family bar the one who died in the Workhouse. Come 1936 dad Thomas Heaton died in THAT workhouse too, ive been unable to find him in 1901,1911 and 1921.

Ive found mum Mary in 1921 with her daughter but then no death that seems to match with her.

So basically id like to scroll through the 1901 Union Workhouse census just incase theres been an error in the transcribing :)

Does anyone know if theres a 1901 census of the Leigh Union Workhouse in Atherton/Leigh?
Ive found an old family history site where they stated its been transcribed but ive tried searching on Ancestry and FindMyPast and i cannot find it, even going the route of the address!
Thankyou!

  so many posting while trying to post, but will add anyway!
Brother Thomas Havelock Lippiatt, did sign up for WW1, but there are no CEF signup papers or the usual followup docs as to his service, rejection, or changing of corps. ( he does appear to have a Regimental number: 11155-H-7)  All this does sound like a likely scenario, though.
https://recherche-collection-search.bac-lac.gc.ca/eng/Home/Record?app=pffww&IdNumber=634211&q=Thomas%20Havelock%20Lippiatt
He did serve with the British Army as Lieutenant / Captain Royal Army Medical Corps Source:2672369

adding, for descendants :
He was already receiving a commission in Sept. 1914 so his was an early signup!

Post away! Thankyou for all the extra information i love it! It seems when he was back in the UK and his dads side of the family, were all down south so i wonder how these books ended up up north, unless there was someone like me who got them due to being sad they had been left and brought them up here :) Its so interesting to see how much the family moved around but sad to find that the mum died just short of a year from writing the note to Joseph. I can see why it was kept.

1901 Census of Hochelaga, Quebec, Canada
household of James Kyle, born in Ireland, wife Annie in Scotland
Joseph Lippiat, male, lodger, single, born 25 November 1879 in the US, age 21, racial or tribal origin: English, nationality: Canadian: religion: Church of England, occupation: clerk

"Canada Census, 1901", , FamilySearch (https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:KHPY-X81 : Sun Mar 10 00:30:50 UTC 2024), Entry for James Kyle and Annie Kyle, 1901.

Thankyou so much, the 25th November confirms its him! I need to remember to use Family Search more. I can imagine Josephs Brother brought the books back with him, they obviously meant a lot to him, maybe because it was his mothers writing / last message.
