COLLETTE - ideas for C20th record sets to search

Hi
Well done, I couldn't find that.
Yes, the workhouses were given new names like that, to try and reduce the stigma.
Do you know where Jessett comes in?

"Jessett" was the mother's maiden name on some of the 5 children's birth certificates. On others it was recorded as "Johnson".

Ah, I see.
Anyway, you've got some interesting extra material about them all on FS. Perhaps there may be more, and there is the LMA of course, not everything is online.

Thank you again. You've definitely opened up a whole set of material that I didn't know existed. I'm similarly clueless about what likely non-digitised collections might be worth my concentrating on in the London Metropolitan Archives, but it's going to be interesting to find out.
