Totally amazed looking at the household for this asylum.
Michael Lennon is householder 126 of 146 - all staff.

The poor inmates are listed by initials, age and some also have birth place. It's heartbreaking with children ages 6 upwards. There are so many listed. The final 'inmate' is age 13 and householder 654.

Makes me think of those orphanages in Romania. :-(

Hi Verity, it's always good when you can verify info!

A possible for Susannah Lennon in 1881:

LENNON, Michael Head Married M 36 1845 Chemical Labourer Ireland
LENNON, Anne Wife Married F 34 1847 Ireland
LENNON, Mary Daughter Single F 8 1873 Scholar Felling Durham
LENNON, Susanna Daughter Single F 6 1875 Scholar Felling Durham
LENNON, John Son Single M 4 1877 Felling Durham
LENNON, Catharine Daughter Single F 1 1880 Felling Durham
LENNON, John Brother Single M 38 1843 Chemical Labourer Ireland
MADDEN, Peter Brother Single M 32 1849 Time Keeper Chemical Ireland

Piece: 5031 Folio: 48 Page: 22 Registration District: 22
Civil Parish: Heworth

Address: Thompson Place, Heworth County: Durham

(I think Peter Madden is more likely Anne's brother)

Wondered if she had been given the name Daisy in memory of a sibling.

FreeBMD for children on the census and no one with Daisy.

There are some other Aldred births in Prescot for similar times so I checked the census image and they say five children born and five still living.

Verity, these may or may not belong to you. They come from FreeBMD with surname Aldred and mother's maiden name Lennon. Don't forget that this is all speculation right now.

Lots of deaths for Lucy Websters so I did a death search on here for a Lucy D Webster. Only one came up and it's nowhere near in birth date or middle name.

For ref

Surname First name(s) District Vol Page
Births Dec 1904 (>99%)
ALDRED Lucy Prescot 8b 784

There is only one Lucy Aldred (no middle name or initial) on FreeBMD. The mother's maiden name was not included at that point so you will have to obtain her birth cert to progress further.

You could assume that the census details that Marie Celeste has found for you belong to your Lucy, but as she clearly says. It's a 'possibility'.

If you want to make sure that you are following the right family it's best to be certain of the facts.

When you get the cert, you can come back and we will all try to guide you in the right direction for your correct family.

Hello Verity, you really need to order the birth certificate to confirm mother's maiden name.

What was her father's name from her marriage certificate? We can then trace back in the census.

Verity Report 18 May 2012 20:39

I've found information about my great grandmother lucy, but her birth records show no information about her own mothers maiden name. Lucy was born in 1904 and married John Webster in 1925. Any information about Lucy and her mother or any of her family would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Verity
