Walton Hospital/107 Rice Lane

By big g |

I have been trying to find 1911 census for Walton Workhouse/Walton Hospital to no avail.  Can anyone point me in the right direction please?

Open up the 1911 search and scroll down so that you can see the boxes for the references.

In the Registration Number enter 455

Sub Registration District Walton

Relation to Head put Inmate

Mary, Thank you, with your help I found Walton Workhouse/Hospital, but didn't find the person I was hoping to find.   Some years I had asked for help, on the old site, in finding Sarah Stewart Corrin b 1896 Bootle, but no one could find her.

 

I have trawled through Bootle Hospital/ Walton Prison/Elm House (asylum), and 1200 inmates of Walton Workhouse, as well as researching all of her known relatives, including those in the Isle of Man.  Any ideas as to where else I could look please?

There is a Sarah S Carrin born 1897 in Bootle living in Seaforth in 1901, parents James and Catherine E Carrin. Living at 50 Verdi Street. Others are children Catherine and Robert.

John's find seems to suggest that she may have died before 1909, but as we all know they aren't always truthful about being widowed etc.  I wonder if for any reason she may have ended up in Rainhill, if you check for deaths at a later date, if one shows up as fitting, the registration district would be Prescot for that.  Just a thought that might be worth looking at but might not be right.

Bertie, Yes that is the death, I have Catherine Ellen Corrin's death certificate. James did remarry to Elizabeth Dixon 24 May 1908 at Linacre Mission Hall, they had three children who all sadly died in early childhood.   Sarah Stewart Corrin 1896 died 1985 Brookside House.  She was my grandmother, in 1916 she was living Clifford Street, Bootle, where she gave birth to a daughter, Sarah's occupation on this certificate is given as 'servant'.   In  1918  she has a son, born Walton Hospital, but living Park Street Bootle. 'factory worker'.

It's a mystery as to where she was in 1911.

Could she have been in an Industrial School? 

 

G.

I think it unlikely at her age to be in an Industrial School, more likely out to work already, and I've often wondered if some of the servants in a household are simply overlooked, it's happened before.  

Thanks Mary, I wasn't sure about the age of young people in Industrial Schools.  It is now looking very likely that she hasn't been recorded, sadly.
