Hi back and thanks for the detailed info, I now understand a lot more about all this than I did before, so between you and Bookbox I send my sincere thanks.

As they say, "the search goes on"

Hi jonwarrn.

Well what can I say but thanks a million for the 2 post replies about my ancestor. Amazing what info there is out there, just need the leads to find it eh? It's a shame it doesn't have the illness as well, but we can't have everything now can we? Regards the "discharge" info as stated on the Creed says "Dis Or" The column header states "Discharged or Dead" so why do you say "own request"? Is that what it really means? Just asking for clarification, hope you don't mind...

Once again many thanks for searching on my behalf, and I'll see what MyHeritage.com has to offer as I am a member of that site. If you happen to find any more info I'll be very grateful as well.

Hi Bookbox.

Well thanks for the new info. Maria died in Feb 1926 but don't know if she was there all that time?

I to think it was due to illness as she still had children to help support her. I'll have to ask one of my friends to search Ancestry for more info then, or maybe even FindMyPast might have some as well?

I live in Australia so no hope of visiting, only online stuff, and this site is so helpful, used it over many years with different threads.

Thanks.

Hi Chris, thanks for your quick reply and explanation.

I have looked at the thread dates and can now see; Tuesday 11 October 11 15:34 BST (UK) which I assume means Tuesday 11 October 2011? the time was a little close to the date and made it a bit confusing.

Thanks again.

Hi Bookbox, thanks for your quick reply, I didn't know when this was first posted as it only seems to have the date not year, but maybe I'm not reading it correctly?

I am looking for the records of the Islington Workhouse re the 1921 census that states my great grandmother, Maria Slatford, was a patient. I am a subscriber to MyHeritage.com but not Ancestry. I found the info on Find My Past, and purchased the census info.

Quote from the census. "Relationship to head Patient; Marital status Widowed; Institution name Guardians' Institution 129 St John's Road Upper Holloway N19"

I do find it very difficult and confusing to actually search for any records on The National Archives web site, so haven't been able to find any records of ancestors on there. I suppose once you can crack the system, it would be easy, but as yet haven't managed that. Do I need to start a new thread to get info on the use of the National Archives web site?

Thanks.

I have a relative that was in the workhouse in the 1921 census, just says "Patient" has anyone been able to decipher how to use The National Archives at all?

Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / Dating Photos
« on: Saturday 05 November 22 01:10 GMT (UK)  »
Hi. Like others here I would like to see if these 3 photos could be dated as near as possible please. I will include the front and back of the images, note that one image has a blank back so no pic of that included. (I can only put up 4 images) The back of pic three has "Victoria cabinet Studios, John Hart" as the photographer. Maybe I can put that up as a seperate post? Thanks in advance.

Northumberland / Re: 1851 census - where is Tynemouth workhouse?
« on: Monday 09 May 22 02:40 BST (UK)  »
I have found info for the 1851 Census with inmates of the Workhouse listed. One of my relatives, Jane Barrass, is listed as a "Widow of James Barrass, Coalminer" It is from MyHeritage Census Records, not sure if you can see the page if you are not a member? There are about 270 names on there, if you cant access the url I am very willing to look up any names that you want to find on there.
Hope this is ok?
