isabella Graham, Middlesbrough
« on: Tuesday 27 May 14 11:20 BST (UK) »
Hi all, I have had some great tips from you fab researchers so here goes . . . .
I am researching the Graham family from Middlesbrough, bit stuck on a few, starting with Isabella
Born 16 December 1927, Middlesbrough, mother Isabella LLEWELLYN father Albert GRAHAM.
this is the info I received from Middlesbrough workhouse recording her admissions to childrens home after her parents died;

dis        04/02/1942 to service
adm        12/02/1942 returned from service
dis        08/08/1942 to Municipal Hosp
adm        11/08/1942 from M Hosp
dis        26/12/1943 to West Lane Hosp
adm        06/10/1944 from employment
dis        13/10/1944 to work at York Blind School
adm        29/11/1944 returned from York Blind School
dis        23/04/1945 to service at Holyrood Orphanage
adm        04/06/1945 from Holyrood Orphanage
dis        04/08/1945 to Holgate Institution (Adult Workhouse)
its sad that the last record we have for her is admission to the workhouse. I cannot find any record of a marriage or death from Tees Valley Index.
I am still looking for her grandparents marriage; james henry graham b 1859 barnard castle to sarah ann Rhodes b 1858 Manchester (or cottesmore rutland, whichever census to believe!)
thank you xx

It's  possible  that    Isabella  never  married and  is  still  alive ,  1927   birth  would make  her  87  this December ,   your post  may be  amended  ,  as  RC  doesn't  allow   info  for  living  people  on  the forum  .  Maybe Electoral  rolls   for  Middlesborough  may be  of use  ,
