workhouse records

[MikeD1967]

Hi Rosemary,

I see you've not posted for a few years so this is probably a long shot but I'm interested in what you know about Mary Ann Luetchford. Edward, the son she had in the workhouse is my great grandfather. My Granddad was Thomas Edward Luetchford, Edwards first son to his second wife, Nelly Devine. It's great (and how strange it feels to be thrilled for someone who's been dead so many years) to hear she married and had more children. Do you happen to have the name of her husband?.

Hearing that Edward Bates might have been from Ashton is a fascinating piece of news. Obviously you'll know that's where Edward Luetchford married his second wife. Could he actually have chosen to have been transferred to a regiment based in Ashton for a reason connected to the identity of his father?

Hi Dawn,

Thanks for the welcome.

There was a post by a JulianB (I think) about Mary Ann Luetchford on another thread. f I reply to that thread would that mean Julian would receive an email notification too.

I'll try it anyway and at least that will have raised my post count to 3.

Hi Mike

If Rosemary's email bounces you'll get a message here from Sarah.

I replied on the other topic so that Julian gets a notification we have both posted. His preferences are set to receive notifications instantly not just for the first reply.

Fingers crossed for this one too.

Dawn
