Thanks a lot! That looks like the most likely match for her.

Yorkshire (North Riding) / Place names near Guisborough
« on: Saturday 14 June 25 12:31 BST (UK) »
I am struggling a bit with a place of birth, and am wondering whether anyone has a good knowledge of place names near Guisborough?
It has been variously transcribed as "Lingman" (1851 census), "Hill Moor" (1861 census), "Lingmoor" (or "Lingmer", 1871 cemsus), and "Lingmar" (1881 census).
The nearest match I can find is a village called Lingdale, which Wikipedia says dates only from around the 1870s. I'm wondering whether the area around there had previously been known as "Lingmer" or "Lingmoor"?
In case anyone is interested, the person's name is Ann Bainbridge, born around 1823, wife of Robert Bainbridge. The couple married at Guisborough in 1844, and her maiden name was Ann Ableson (daughter of John Ableson).
Many thanks!

Northumberland / Newcastle Workhouse records - 1850s
« on: Tuesday 27 May 25 10:17 BST (UK) »
Does anyone have any knowledge of what records exist for the Newcastle Workhouse in the mid 1850s? Perhaps a register of admissions or something like that?
As background: I am intrigued by an additional person who appears in the household of James and Elizabeth Wilson in the 1841 Census for Newcastle. He is called Alfred Carrick, age around 3 at the time. He is presumably the same Alfred (Downie) Carrick who appears in a list of long-term inmates of the Newcastle Workhouse in 1861 (having been there for 7 years owing to a learning disability) and who died in 1869.
I have not found any other links in the Wilson family to the names of Carrick or Downie. They could simply have been child-minding for friends or neighbours. It could be a recording error, carried over from a different household. Or, perhaps, it could be a clue to James's or Elizabeth's wider family. I know virtually nothing about Elizabeth (not even her maiden name) as she seems to have died before the 1851 census. And I know very little about James's life before 1819 (when he was about 33), except that he was born in Berwick upon Tweed.
I was hoping a register or admission document might contain some hint about any relationship to the family.
Many thanks for any pointers!

Many thanks!
