Turning to Ellen Richards - she was still in the workhouse with her mother and baby brother in 1871

RG10; Piece: 1013; Folio: 15; Page: 13

Jane Richards   24                                        Dover
Ellen Richards     3                                        Dover
David Henry Richards  11 mths                        Dover

David was baptised 11 May 1870 Buckland, near Dover. Again no father given.

In 1881 David was still in the workhouse, listed as pauper, scholar.

Ellen is in Ramsgate, Kent with her uncle, John Richards aged 30, a fisherman, and his family RG11; Piece: 988; Folio: 30; Page: 14.  I can't see Jane at the moment.

Hi groom,

With a bit of luck, I discovered that Jane married Richard Finn, the name directly above hers in the Workhouse records.  He had been married 2 or 3 times previously and was 70, I think, at the time of the marriage.  My tree on ancestry is Richards family tree and he is recorded there. 

Kind regards from Joan

I also purchased Ann Hurrell's marriage certificate and she lists John as her father - probably her uncle?  J.

That's good, so at least David was with his mother in the workhouse in 1881. What a dreadful life that must have been for them.

I can't even imagine how bad it must have been!  Richard Finn died a few years after the marriage and as far as I can ascertain, Jane never remarried.  She did appear to leave the workhouse and was living with her daughter in later life.

Kind regards from Joan

Just to add a bit more sadness to the thread; it appears that Mary Ann Hurrel died age ten.  :'(

There is a burial at Selling as follows:-

1835 Jan 22 Mary Ann Hurrel aged 10.

Tony

Sorry, I think I have got my Mary Ann and Ann muddled up.  Ignore the above, it was Mary Ann the daughter of James and Ann who died at age ten!
