Re: Help finding entire Eccleston family in Lancashire 1911 census
« Reply #9 on: Wednesday 23 February 22 20:32 GMT (UK) »

I am looking for some help, I cannot seem to locate a family in the 1911 census. I have 1891,1901 and 1921 but for the life of me can’t find them in 1911.

They were in and out of the workhouse between 1896 and 1909 (recently found 2 of the children in workhouse being discharged in Jan 1911)

I have tried different variations of names etc.. and just stumped as it’s the entire family

What were their names and  did it give an address on the 1911 discharge record?

2 of the children, names appear as Ecclestone not Eccleston (this appears a few time in workhouse recordings)
Catherine Ecclestone admitted 13.1.1910 discharged 14.1.1911 care/ of Mother
Alice Ecclestone 13.1.1910 discharged 14.1.1911 c/o Mother

Address looks like ____ Holly Mount - cannot read first word.
I have tried to have a look into this but came up with nothing just trying to figure out if it may have been a hospital or children’s home as no house number.

Joseph Eccleston admitted 4.5.1910 discharged 1.10.1910
Address 74 crown street,Hulme

I have checked that address but no luck.

I have Nellies birth certificate ordered. As of now all I have is her birth register from withington workhouse.

Thank you

There is an Eccleston family living at 186 Cobden Street, Ancoats in 1911:-

Sarah Ann b.1868 / Head / Widow
Catherine b.1887 / Daughter / Single
John Edward b.1891 /Son / Single
Thomas b.1894 / Son / Single
Joseph b.1896 / Son / Single

All born Manchester

Sarah Ann has crossed out that she's been married for 25 years.

(This was from The Genealogist)

I think the above Sarah Ann Eccleston is nee Nugent
