Dorothy valance Robinson lincoln

[anitaszaban]

IM trying to unravel a mystery,
Dorothy valance Robinson was born in the workhouse on 24 October 1918 burton road. we have birth certificate, it shows that Annie elizabeth Robinson as mother ( although she didn’t raise her ) domestic servant of free school lane. no father named I’m struggling with finding information out about the mother. There’s no evidence that she was legally adopted but a man named Robinson raised her, so thinking it could be a brother to Annie ? Is someone local to look at the work house records ? Thanks in advance

And what town was the Workhouse in please?

[anitaszaban]

One record says workhouse Lincoln, a later copy says registered guisborough ? To find info on. Annie I think I need someone who can access the records

[CaroleW]

Freebmd clearly shows her birth was registered in Lincoln Dec qtr 1918.  Where is Guisborough mentioned?

[anitaszaban]

On one of the certificates we have says guisborough town hall ?

What kind of certificate?  The only one relevant to a birth in the workhouse is the 1918 birth cert which is the subject of your post

[anitaszaban]

It’s on a 1901 document the factory and workshop act,

She was born in the workhouse, this other paperwork is to get a certificate and it’s filled in ( handwritten ) townhall ? 
Purpose of it was as Dorothy was ready to start school.

But I fo I require is about the workhouse days and to get an idea of her mother’s age etc and any other children eyc
