1851- Indexed Institutions of London

[ChristineT]

Hi Cougar

You must think me very rude for not replying to your response on 27 Feb, but for some reason my computer didn't alert me to your reply and I've only just found it!

However, many thanks for the info on the Archivist at Holborn Library and I will follow this up ASAP.

The name of the lady who I have reason to believe became Matron in 1905 was Eliza Ellen Dunaway.

Regards

Christine

Hi Cougar, I hope you do not mind me asking but I have a small problem,

On checking the 1851 Census For  Sarah Peat  Age 21 Bn. Liverpool, I found her living at  22 New Ormond Street , This seems To be a school As she was one of 3 teachers + a Matron,   The children all seem to be girls Ages between 16 and 19. 
Is there any way That I can Find what type of School this is ?

Later Sarah Peat went to Cheltenham Training Collage.

1857
She was a student at Cheltenham Training College [Sponsered by Mrs Kinnaird]
From the admission records Sarah Peat joined the college in 1857 and spent a year there in which time she gained a 2nd Class qualification and QS (Queen's Scholar) status. The Government paid for her fees like those of most of her contemporaries,
 as Queen's Scholars.            
Interestingly, unlike the majority of her fellow students, she was not previously Pupil Teacher (that is someone who monitored younger children whilst continuing to receive an education herself) but was 1st Teacher at Mrs Kinnaird’s School atNo.1 Pall Mall.London

Note. Mrs Kinnaird was in fact Lady Mary Jane Kinnaird wife of Arthur Fitzgerald Kinnaird  the 10th Baron Kinnaird.

 hope you can help 
Thank you   Eddie

With Ref to my previous request re "22 New Ormond Street"

After reading previous Threads I contacted  The Archivist at Camden Local Studies and Archives Centre, Ihad a answer by return,

Have checkedthe 1851 London street directory and this lists No. 22 New Ormond Street as being St John's Servants' School.

Hi Cougar
That's a brilliant bit of work you've done for 1851.  You don't have similar info for 1891 do you?

I have a relative who died 27.7.91 following a fall from his cart!  He died in St Georges Hospital.

His address was given as 59 North Street, Chelsea, so as the census was only 3 months earlier I checked that address, but he was not there - another family completely.  It could be that he was in another hospital during the census.

We have checked all the hospitals in Chelsea and surrounding areas, but if you had a list that would be great.

Thanks

Christine

Hi Christine

You haven't had a reply to this so one can assume either Cougar doesn't have the information you are looking for or hasn't received notification that you have placed a request.

Under these circumstances it would be better for you to post a new topic on the London & Middx LOOK-UP REQUEST board asking for help finding your relative, but please include his name (which you haven't here), the address he was last living at and any other information you have about him, age, place of birth, occupation, wife, children, etc.
