Hello Members,

All this talk about Dorothy, She was my Grandmother and my Father (Dorothy's Son) would love any information if any of you are still active on this site. It seems she is the missing link to our Ancestry because she was adopted and we have almost no information. She married Ernie the Son of one of the Chipperfield daughter's Minnie.

Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Regards
John Cater

Hi John,

Firstly, apologies for jumping on your post without any information about your grandmother.
I could be barking up the wrong tree completely but believe we are possibly related. My great great grandmother would have been Minnie Chipperfield. She married a cater and I believe was disowned from the chipperfield family.
My grandfather was Richard cater who would have been Minnie’s grandson, making Minnie a great grandparent to my father. I believe you would be related to Minnie in the exact same way? I’d love to chat further and put any information we both have, together.

Kind regards, Leigh-ann Cater.

Hello Leigh ann Cater,

Yes indeed Minnie Chipperfield was my Great Grandmother and Ernie Cater my Grandfather that would
indeed make us relatives I would think.
I have been living in South Germany in Bavaria the last 33 years with also two brothers still in the UK.

Sorry have not been on here for while therefore the late reply.

Kind regards, John Cater

The Factory and Workshop Act 1878 required certificates for various purposes, including the removal of children from elementary schools to industrial schools or reformatory schools. It also enabled apprenticeships for children in elementary schools and allowed boys to enter examinations for positions such as Dockyard Apprentice or Engineer Student. The Act also required certificates for admission to orphanages, charitable institutions, and schools of domestic economy.

The Factory and Workshop Act 1901 further expanded the range of certificates required, including those for apprenticeships, examinations, and admission to educational institutions. It also required certificates for the age of children taking part in entertainment in theatres or music halls.

These certificates were essential for ensuring that children were properly educated and that they were of the appropriate age for employment. They were issued by the Registrar General and were necessary for various educational and employment purposes.


From 1904 birth certificates of those born in the workhouse gave the address as 8a Burton Road in an effort to protect the individual from being disadvantaged in later life as a 'workhouse baby'. The informant for births within the workhouse would be the Master at that time.
