It's not complete though, even for the areas listed.

My father's family lived at 90 Dynevor Road, Stoke Newington, London.

I wanted to find my uncle Willy, born between my aunt in 1892 and my father in 1911, but there is a gap in the house numbers which included 90.

None of the family come up in the name index either, so the records must be missing at the moment.

I went on an hour ago and finally found my grandmother. Obviously I knew that she existed, but she lied about her age when she got married in 1923 and her family moved from Staffordshire to Yorkshire around the time she was born. I'm so exicted. I now know that she was born in approx 1906 in Pitts Hill, near Little Chell in Staffs (she always said that she was born in Chell)...

The census has thrown up another mystery though as one of her brothers drowned in 1940 and there are relatives who remember it. He is married, but this has never been mentioned by anyone at all. There is also an unknown grandson that I'll have to look into now.

Please may I add that part of the workhouses, in some cases, were also used as infirmaries.

Not doolally Helen....Workhouse was the last resort for poor, it was designed to be so. As submission to the work house meant that the entire household where to be intered there.
He was probably wise enough to move his wife out to his son house. Before he had to take the ignomy of moving there.

I've just spent £13.90 on there. but found lots of info that i didn't have. Am so pleased, my tree will be expanding soon. Did found out that my Gr Gr Grandfather was living in the workhouse in Birmingham, but his wife was living with my Gt Grandfather, am going to see if there are any records around to see as to why he was there. (maybe he had gone doolally).

Helen

I wont Maggie I promise, seems the more you buy the cheaper it is, it is so easy to get carried away isnt it though, especially when it is 30 credits to view an original, think you have to be sure it is the correct one.

Have you spent up yet Jessie, lol

£24.95 doesn't last very long!

ps but it's worth every penny!

I've paid £24.95 also and I'm goning quickly through them but I'm so excited lol....................

Marilyn, I paid £24.95 for 280 credits, but don't tell my hubby!!

Linda, thanks for the information on the credits, wasnt sure how much they were ,I was told they were quite expensive, so will have to pick the most necessary ones for the time being.

Thanks again

Marilyn
