Shropshire / Re: Berrington Workhouse
« on: Saturday 27 April 19 17:18 BST (UK) »
As a newcomer to Rootschat I have only just discovered this thread, I have a Great Grandmother - Mary Ann Lawson (nee Long), Great Aunt - Maria Lawson and Great Great Grandfather Thomas Long, in the 1901 census as paupers in the Berrington Workhouse, I can't find any of them after this date. Mary's husband -Samuel Lawson is absent after 1891 census.
Even more odd is the fact that my Grandfather Thomas Charles Lawson appears in the 1891 census in Everton Industrial School for boys in Liverpool, while his parents Samuel and Mary Ann are listed in the 1891 census living with 5 of his siblings in Shrewsbury. I have searched the records on FindmyPast, but nothing came up other than what info I have already. I would be most interested if anyone can help, especially with admission, discharge records for Berrington and Everton Industrial School.
