family tree 1911 census lookup

[suna]

If anyone can look at the 1911 for Pickering Workhouse, there is a Betsey Wilson admitted March 1911 and discharged end May 1911 born 1877, does she have children with her or a husband? Her occupation was a servant, she was in and out of that place for 10 years and seemed to be a local woman,

[suna]

I have e-mailed her and i have e-mailed you regarding Geoffray flynn
I have found that Betsy Flynn 1933 was born York East
1911 census i put Betsey Wilson 1877 place of residence Pickering cannot access it but there is an entry.

[Rose Maybud]

Betsy was in Pickering Workhouse. Recorded as single, age 34, formerly servant, born Thornton le Dale and having produced 2 children. They were with her: Harriet Wilson, age 9 also born Thornton le Dale; and Harold age 6 born Pickering.

Right thanks i'll see wat Dotty. can do with this info thanks.

[dotty.]

That eliminates her as Grace's mum then, i had high hopes for that one Suna, the Dinah Wilson in the workhouse around the same time is interesting but still not spotted the link, thanks anyway Rose, it's still a bit of a mystery to say the least. If Suna gets a reply from the lady with the workhouse records it may reveal more about Grace.

[suna]

right thank you but i am lost on who is who here

[dotty.]

Dinah Wilson is on that workhouse link she was from Thornton Le Dale too

[suna]

err ok

[suna]

I don't want this to be the end as everyone has been a wonderful help and a special thanks to Dotty. i don't know what to say now. But I'll still be about.

[dotty.]

Not a chance of that Suna it's too interesting to leave, Grace will turn up somewhere and Jack, he should be on the 1911 as a chimney sweep living somewhere in the East Yorkshire area

[suna]

I still carn't work it out is this right Dinah mother of Besty mother of Grace any help i carn't get my head round this twist.

[dotty.]

No I don't think we have enough evidence that the Betsey in the workhouse was Grace's mother, infact she only seems to have had those 2 children entered on the 1911 Rose found, I think Dinah was Betsey's mother though, found her on the 1901 and earlier returns and it is probable she was. Because Grace named one of her daughters Betsey though, it is possible that the Betsey in the workhouse was related to Grace , though nothing to back that up as yet except the link with Pickering Workhouse. (and a hunch)

[suna]

ok what shall we do now and i'll way for the e-mail reply if she sends me it.

[dotty.]

see what the email brings for now, also, i keep forgetting to ask this, who is the William Wilson that was a witness at Grace's wedding to James Flynn??

[suna]

that maybe a big clue? sorry dont know

[suna]

[suna]

[dotty.]

late last night I was reading an interview with Joe Longthorne online and he said in that interview that his great grandmother was Lena Wilson, there was also an article with it about the Pickering Gypsies.

Hi John,
Thanks for your e-mail. I can't be much help, but the Pickering Workhouse records give some information. I believe that the place of birth when it was in a workhouse was often fudged, so that the child wouldn't be stigmatised. Certainly the workhouse was in or very close to Whitby Road; it was also possible that births took place in the house of a local midwife and number 5 might have been either her own house or one owned by the Board of Guardians for the express purpose of having babies.

I'm enclosing the information as an attachment in the hope that the layout will remain readable. If you have any problems reading or understanding the information, don't hesitate to contact me.
