Thank you very much, Janice. :) I have some new questions so I think I will start a new thread for them!

Thanks! :) I've found the abbreviations too.

Also is there any sign of a christening for Amy's mother. She was Matilda Lucas, born c.1846 in Rotherhithe, daughter of Richard (sail maker) and Mary Ann Young.

Hi Janice,

Thanks very much. I have bookmarked the page. I am thinking that is quite likely that he attended that school. I shall have investigate.

Incidentally, does anyone know what the post office records on ancestry contain? My great uncle Raymond Goodge worked for the Post Office and it'd be interesting to find out.

Thanks again :)

St Pancras Industrial Schools, Leavesden


This could be the school in Hertfordshire that Leslie went to.
Just above halfway down the page here

Wow. Thank you so much. I have sent you a reply.

Yes. I'm sure they met as neighbours in Essex where her mother and sister were running a bed and breakfast. I wonder why they ended up there too. Amy had two spinster sisters who could have looked after them. Albert had no contact with his family so some intervention from them would not have been possible.

Thanks for finding Amy's baptism too. I have traced her tree quite far back but was still missing details about her baptism.

I'll have a look.

Have PM'd you.

Amy's baptismal record says she was born 27th April 1882 so she was 34 and 36 when the boys were born. Not very young then.

Dad didn't die till 1924 and she has a sister so I wonder why the boys went to the workhouse.

Oh I wondered if anyone could tell me what sort of information is contained in the London School Admissions images. I have found Amy on that and have the basic info. Would seeing the original image yield much more?

Thanks

Yes she did, actually. She was living in a hotel in 1911 too and because she was working so much, it meant that she didn't see much of her sons during their early years. Thanks again,

The National Archives have some Cane Hill records.

Got to go now. Will pop back later.

Did Amy work in a hotel? I've found an Amy Goodge in Wilton Hotel SW1in 1929

Albert died in the asylum in 1952. It was the asylum in Coulsdon (I am not sure if Cane Hill or Netherne) and my grandfather saw him for the last time around the age of 14, although Amy continued to visit.

Thanks. That's great. :)

I am sure he was definitely admitted during the 1920s so that helps to confirm my thoughts.

Ah how annoying that they aren't indexed! Well at least I know what I'll have to do to find the information. I have a feeling that Leslie and Ray might not be in the ancestry pages, and I'll have to establish what time Albert was admitted to the asylum.

Thanks very much

In 1932 Amy is at 7 Hindon Place, SW1 but Albert isn't there.
Same in 1933

1934 64 Warwick Street SW1
same in 1935

she's not with Albert in any of these. When did he die?

Thank you so much, Janice. I really appreciate your help on this. Going to look up that address now! Glad to know where Albert and Amy were living.

They are for 1919 to 1921 but not the later years.

And they aren't indexed - you have to trawl them!!

Don't think they are online but I have Ancestry so will check for you.
