26&28 Lower Clapton Road was a receiving home for up to 77 children where they processed the children coming into the union care and included a medical examination. The home also provided accommodation for short term care for children.
Children would then be passed on to the Hornchurch Homes.

Thank you. So where do I need to look now?

JOHN

First off, I thank you all for your speedy replies.

I think first up I need to check the Rosina Hibberd who married a William F Harrup in Shoreditch and Rose Hibbert to x? Walker  1920 q2 W.Ham 4a 297.

Just to clarify a few points that some of you asked;

She is listed twice in the 1911 census: living at home and at the work house.
The family had lost contact with her before the her parents died so she would not have registered the deaths.
There was no will as the family were poor.

Im busy at work over the next few days but will come back to you with my results re the marriages.

Hi

Over the years I have been researching my family tree but I have failed to find out what happened to my fathers Aunt, Rose Maud Hibberd who was born on 13 August 1897 in Shoreditch, London. I have her in the 1911 census at a Workhouse in Hackney and then nothing. I can't find any marriages or death, she seems to have just disappeared. I had a thought today. I wonder if she had been part of the stolen white generation that were shipped out to Australia from Children Homes? But I would not have any idea as to where to start with this?  Any advice would be gratefully received.


JOHN

I found that but wanted the service record. Got it now so thanks  everyone for their help.

JOHN

It certainly could be.  I just need to find the details of a marriage??
And thanks.
