Cottage Homes, Cheriton. Admissions
« on: Tuesday 29 January 13 19:55 GMT (UK) »
Hi there

I am posting on behalf of a friend  :)

Her ancestor has been found in the Cottage Homes in 1911 with 3 siblings aged between 5 & 14. According to the census they were all born in Folkestone. There is no family story about them being in a children's home. We have been unable to find any matching birth entries in the area. Now wondering if they were either born elsewhere - or registered with different surnames? The elder two children should be in the 1901 census but we've drawn a blank so far.

http://www.workhouses.org.uk/Elham/ suggests that the archive only have 1922 onwards admissions. Has anyone looked at these records before?

Totally new to Kent research so any tips helpful.

Janet, Henry, Elsie & Ella Prior. Have details of Ella's marriage (and Janet) but no certificates so can't confirm father just yet.

well - asking for help obviously inspired me because I think I have found them registered as Boxer!

suspect a visit to Kent Archives will still be required to get the story  :)

Hi, if you have the full address of the premises I may be able to help. Also, as you may have discovered, if it is Boxer, it is a common name in Folkestone/Cheriton.
