Lancashire / Re: Seaman's Mission, Fleetwood

I just discovered that 1 Derby Road was first a workhouse, and then became  "Wesham Park Hospital" (specialist geriatric and psychiatric).  Since the cause of death is listed as "Senile myocarditis", I guess he was a patient there?

 I was told by a family member that he had syphilis -- which probably brought on the senility.  He split up with his wife in about 1900 in Scotland, and she moved to Canada with their children in 1911.  Nobody seems to know what happend to Alexander after that.

I'm looking for more information about "Seaman's Mission".  My Great Grandfather's death certificate listed his occupation as "Of Seaman's Mission, Fleetwood U.D., Trawler Cook"

I finally found his death record after years of searching.  But I'd like to find out more about what was going on in his life before he died.

Christina had an illegitimate daughter named Agnes Dickie Arnott (married Schluter).  James and Christina never had any children together that I know of.

Was Ashford assiciated with the Catholic Church?

Great-grandmother had 14 children with 2 different husbands.  The children from the first marriage were Catholic, and at least 4 of them (including my grandfather) went to St Vincent's Mill Hill, after their father died in 1914.

In the second marriage, I'm not sure if they were Catholic.  After my great grandmother died in 1926, four of her children from the second marriage were sent to Ashford.

They were admitted in on October 30, 1926.  Arthur died shortly after.  We have traced William and Jane, but have no idea what happened to Walter.
