Derbyshire / Re: Railway Servants Orphanage, Ashbourne Rd, Derby
« on: Friday 25 July 14 07:07 BST (UK)  »
My gr Aunt Ethel May Pomeroy b 1891 appears as a resident of the St Christophers Railway Orphanage, Derby in the 1901 Census aged 10. I would like to find out when she was admitted to the Orphanage. It was probably in about 1894 or 1895. Her father had died in 1892. She emigrated to South Africa in 1910.
Can anyone do a lookup on the Admissions CD please?
Thanks in advance

Thank you all so much for your detailed information. I'm sure that you are correct that the photo was taken on the occasion of her 21st birthday which would have been in December 1863.

Best Wishes

Hi this photo is of my gr grandmother, Sarah Ann Annetts. She was born in 1842, married in 1868 and died in 1888. Could anyone date the photo please? How early were photos like this readily available?

Hi Jimmyboy
Charles Annetts' daughter, Sarah Ann Annetts was my gr grandmother. Do you have any further information on the Annetts family? Sarah Ann married my gr grandfather, Joseph Gaisford in 1868 and they lived in Warminster.

Hi to all Harris researchers
I found a Transcript of the Will of Samuel Harris who died 7 Apr 1888 at Weston Farm, Stalbridge. It may be of interest.

Hi Harris of Oz.
With ref to your post of 28 May 2010, I have now confirmed through another Harris contact that "my" Charlotte Harris' parents were John Harris b. 1783 Sherborne, Dorset and Ann Collard b. about 1790 Henstridge, Somerset.
Children:
Jane b 1811 Stalbridge
Charlotte b 1813 Stalbridge married William Pomeroy 17 Apr 1849 Totnes, Devon
                   (Her father's 1852 Will refers to her as " Mrs Charlotte Pomeroy")
Selina b 1819 Stalbridge
Harriet b 1826 Taunton, Somerset
Henry b 1832 Taunton, Somerset
So, although 3 children were born in Stalbridge (I haven't been able to locate any birth or baptism records yet), they don't appear to have an obvious link to your Stalbridge Harris families.
Regards
Martin (South Africa)

Thank you for that. The only James that I have is my Charles ANNETTS' father James Tristian ANNETTS (1783-1854). I am aware that there is some connection to John and Francis WEST and their WEST charities.
Regards
Martin

Thanks Julian, for all that information on the ANNETTS famlies.

My gr grandmother was Sarah Ann ANNETTS, daughter of Charles ANNETTS and Elizabeth TOWLER. Charles' parents were James Tristian ANNETTS and Ann REEVES.

Do you have any specific information from the book (in addition to that which you have already posted) on these individuals?

Your information is of great interest to me as I have never been to CD.

Tahks again for your assistance
