Apologies for not getting back to you sooner as I have been away visiting family for 2 days. Back to business! Yes, that is my tree on Ancestry, so pleased you liked the photos. Frankland was her maiden name and I did order the death certificate of the one you mentioned as it was the only one in the Reeth area, but it was incorrect. Mary's mother and father were Thomas and Jane and she was the youngest of six, sister Jane, and 4 brothers, John, Henry, Thomas and William Lamb Frankland. |

Sorry Kathleen, it was the 1891 census which I was looking at and has the last column in with that against her name. The 1901 hasn't as you have pointed out. |

Which death certificate did you buy? Was it this one (which looks like a possibility):- |

Where it says "lunatic" in the last column is NOT against Mary Frankland's name. It is the person on the line above her. |

Her name was Mary Frankland, born 1858, Hurst, Marrick. She had my husband's grandfather while in the workhouse in 1895, John William. He is on the 1902 census aged 6. |

It says on the workhouses site that virtually no records remain for this workhouse. The only things that North Yorkshire Record Office holds are the Guardian's Minutes from 1840 to 1856. |

My husband's great grandmother was in this workhouse from around 1891 and was even there on the 1901 and 1911 census age 53. After this she disappears. I have tried marriages and deaths and ordered a death certificate which was the wrong one. I believe this workhouse closed around 1930 and there were only several inmates remaining, but I cannot find any information after 1911 and whether or not she was one of the remaining few. North Yorkshire records don't seem to have any information. Any suggestions where I go from here would be very welcoming : :-) |
