St Stephens orphanage Mickelgate York
« on: Tuesday 20 October 09 15:31 BST (UK) »
The 1891 census shows Mary A Schofield, born Aldershot, aged 16 in St Stephens Orphanage York.  In 1881 she was living in Bury with parents so obviously George (B 1845) and hannah nora/annie honora (B 1835 or 1845 - census gives diff date to wedding cert) had died.  Has anyone got any information on this orphanage or know if any records exist?

It looks like the National Register of  Archives has childrens records from 1875 for St Stephens orphanage catalogue number NRA 38347 York Childrens Trust see website link to NRA. Records also appear to be held at the Borthwick Institute York.
