Morning Dawn
Whitfield Place, it's so clear now that you have told me what to look for - thank you. There's an entry a little higher up on the same page in the Creed register also from Whitfield Place.
I am intrigued by something: Elizabeth Biggs, who was in and out of the St Pancras Workhouse on a fairly regular basis from 1870 onwards, was last recorded there in Jan 1885. My next record is in the Whitechapel Infirmary in October of that year where she has my grandfather, Arthur, in Nov 1885.
One month later, she and Arthur (and husband William) are back in the workhouse at St Pancras, coming in from Whitfield Place. I wonder if, having lost four babies in St Pancras, she thought she'd see how things were at Whitechapel. I'm quite taken with the idea but of course will never know.
Thanks to you and Valda for everything
Monica
