gene Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 (edited) I was in the Archives the other week looking at these and I ordered them up the day before so they were ready and waiting for me. There are 4 books in the set and the 33 & 34 cover the early years. Just email archives with the query and they will confirm it is the correct ref no. I know that some things don't show up on their online catalogue and you used to be able to search via the Libraries online but it doesn't seem to work like that now. Don't forget to mention they are the admission registers for the Children's Homes at FV Workhouse. I have searched them many times ---------- Post added 04-04-2018 at 22:00 ---------- There was an Annie Taylor aged 5 yrs in the Scattered Homes at 12 Upperthorpe in the 1911 census.

Giles was my grandpa Fred's cousin. Mum once told me she remembered cousin Giles as having a very slight hunch back, and a really lovely personality. The info I've got about him is that he was born 16/12/1897 (the 16/12/1898 birthday given in the 1939 register is a year out, his birth was actually registered in Q1 1898.) His parents were Lucius Lutkin (born 24/02/1865 in Peterborough) and Louisa Warburton (born 19/07/1868 in Sheffield) They'd married in 1889 and they had 9 children, 3 of whom died young. They lived for a while on Eyre Lane. Lucius was up before the magistrates a few times between 1904 and 1910 for being a "disorderly pauper" and for refusing to do work whilst a pauper inmate. There were charges in 1909 and 1910 for deserting his family. I couldn't find Lucius in the 1911 census, perhaps he avoided it, not wanting to be found? This desertion is maybe why Louisa and daughter Edith were inmates in Firvale workhouse in 1911, with Giles in Smilter Lane children's home and his brother George in a children's home on City Rd. Lucius was back with Louisa by 1921 though. Giles married a Worksop lass, Elsie Barnett and ended up living in Worksop, working as a coal miner. He died in Worksop in 1958. I think he and Elsie had 6 kids. My interest is with Louisa's side of the family, the Warburton lot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
