Regarding the mention of the Amy KERSHAW in 1939, is anyone able to clarify whether she was a patient or a worker?

I am supposing  it say patient if she was, but I am not certain.

If you look at the image, the list of people in residence are either annotated as S (servant) and P (patient)

Ah yes. Thank you.

In reference to Elsie SENIOR

Her Mother was Sarah Ann (Wood) Senior-Mayman (1863-1913) .

As noted by Lizzie L.
Carrie KERSHAW was nee WOOD.
I wonder if there was a link there.

I wondered too, but Wood is a common name. Worth checking though. To adopt a niece or cousin, when the biological mother had been widowed and left with several young children was quite common

There's a Carrie Wood reg 1879 Dewsbury mmn Boothroyd. Place and date match censuses. And a Sarah Ann Wood reg 1863 mmn Boothroyd, but in Huddersfield not Dewsbury. So no evidence yet that they're sisters.

Carrie Wood father George had a sister Minnie and when she marries one of the witnesses is Elsie Senior

Marriage 19 Sep 1911 Thornhill Lees

Minnie Wood to Jim Armitage Parker

George was married to Lavinia who was Boothroyd and in 1871 they have a daughter Sarah A aged 8

That sounds promising

Elsie is a witness on Sarah Ann's marriage in 1908

Is that her second marriage to Mayman?
