Irish Harringtons from Whitechapel

[jonwarrn]

One of those Infirmary admissions for the three children had them being admitted from the Forest Gate School in 1884

Whitechapel Union
Register of Children at Forest Gate, etc
24 Nov 1881

Mary A Goodman, 7, RC
Relative Brother John Goodman, Industrial School, Little Ilford

21 June 1883
Mary A Goodman, 9, RC, from Margate, there since 12 July 82

Catherine should be there too, from that Infirmary record
There is a Catherine Goodman at bottom of page, 20 Dec 1883, but she is 4, and religion C of E

Discharged 22.6.83

*The infirmary admission says she was admitted from Margate, so that ties in with the Forest Gate School record.

Catherine Goodman, born 1879, Ch of Eng
Admitted from Marlborough P. C. (Police Court)
Informant Magistrate
Mother Elizh 1 months impr. for begging
Discharged 20.12.83*
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSG6-VS11-F

*That is the date Catherine went to Forest Gate, as per previous post.
So did the Magistrate or the Whitechapel Union get a few little details wrong, like her age and religion! Or is it someone else?
Mother was Elizabeth, according to the creed register.

Mother was Elizabeth, according to the creed register.

Catherine was only 4, she may not have known her religion. C. of E. might have been assumed. She was probably confused and upset in the circumstances. Someone asked me my age when I was 4 and I told them I was 6. 
Religion of my Catholic GGF was C. of E. on his attestation form when he joined army for Boer War.

Apologies if these workhouse records have been posted. I have looked back and can’t see them. I mentioned them last night but didn’t post and Jon has worked so hard today with all the records.

Stepney
Admission 20th March 1874 Discharge 8th April 1874
Elizabeth Goodman 32 yrs widow of James, labourer
John 6 yrs  - 27th March to Forest Gate school
James 1 yr
41 Lambeth Street

15th July 1874 - discharge 1st August 1874
The same address
Elizabeth  Goodman 32 yrs widow of James, Dock Labourer. ‘In Labour ‘
John 4 yrs child of Elizabeth
Mary Ann   Child of Elizabeth. ‘born’

I am not sure of the annotation next to John - it could be ‘dest’ (destitute) or ‘death’
The age is wrong for both John and James

Good points, Maiden Stone, and really "our" Catherine should be in those records as she was admitted to the Infirmary in 1884 from the Forest Gate School.
So I will assume it is her!

Well found again, cuffie.
I did have a look, and missed her. My excuse is that horrible spidery handwriting, and I refuse to expand all the pages to get a better look!
One thing - both that burial, and that of James Goodman you found, were in consecrated ground (sadly they don't tell us who performed the ceremony)
But maybe again they weren't bothered.

Apologies if these workhouse records have been posted.

Great finds, heywood, and we haven't had those before.
I am going to find them on microfilm on FamilySearch to look at, because I can't read them very well on those ancestry scans!

Wow very impressed with all that you've found! I had no idea about these workhouse/infirmary and children's home records so it's good to get a picture of their childhood, bleak as it may have been. On my mother's side I had an ancestor - an orphan - who was sent to a children's home in Margate so I wonder if it's the same one Mary Ann was sent to. I live in London too so will take a trip into the East End to take a look at these streets, very exciting
