[jonwarrn]

How sad

Louisa Maud

[louisa maud]

Can't find  the same MMN for James and Alice

Louisa Maud

[jonwarrn]

Sad, yes.
Not sure about that "91" in pencil for discharge
They are in the next book, from 1892
James 1881
Alice 1884
Deserted by Father

For James Marshall, Sutton is crossed out and Witham written in pencil, with a date 21.8.93

[jonwarrn]

So I guess this is him at Sutton in 1891
Age 8, place of birth Not Known

In the next book, which is from 1897

The only familiar thing about this 
1901 Ref RG13/1201 FOLIO 131 PAGE 40  is James Marshall aged 19 post office counter clerk boarder in Acton

BUT

place of birth is Portsmouth

Louisa Maud

It looks as if both parents deserted these poor little ones, where was the mother, one would assume she also is in a workhouse, what a pity these children were split up but the good things is they found each other

You are doing well Jon

[jonwarrn]

I was doing well LM, but running out of options.
Not picking these two up in workhouse records?

In that last book available, from 1897, there's also William Marshall, born 1884, alongside the entries for James + Alice, but I don't think he is anything to do with them (his father was Joseph)

They seem to have lost the mother ("no trace")
Couple of discharges for Alice in 1898, the second one was to service with a Mrs Nursh or more likely is Marsh perhaps?, 50 Pelham Rd, Wimbledon.

Might be worth looking at the London Poor Law School District Registers on ancestry, which they have indexed.
