hi
i'm researching my dad leonard hollman,s mum mary fifield 1886-1952 she was born in kingston to john henry fifield and elizabeth hopwood married albert edward hollman 27/6/1914 lee parish church and died from a heart condition in 1952
buried at greenwich cemetery i have 1911 census blessington road lee(known)
and according to1891 in workhouse with father john who died 1895
i found also john henry fifield b1869 in plumstead who was married to maria c hind
and i beleive they took her in
i have got information from the internet regarding the fifield tree but it shows john as being abt 70 when mary was born??
would be great if a fifield family member
has any knowledge of her early life in workhouse
regards lynden

I think we can eliminate the Mary Elizabeth birth mentioned above:

Surrey, England, Baptisms, 1813-1912

Name: Mary Elizabeth Fifield
Baptism Date: 29 May 1887
Archive Provided Parish: Kingston Hill, St Paul
Parish as it Appears: Kingston Hill, St Paul
Father: Edwin Fifield
Mother: Harriet Elizabeth Fifield
Reference Number: 6083/1/2

I don't think that 1844 birth is her father, he was apparently much older than that (age is very clear on image)

Surrey, England, Marriages, 1754-1937

Name: John Fifield - labourer (widower)
Age: 50
Birth Year: abt 1818
Marriage Date: 16 Mar 1868

Parish as it Appears: Norbiton

Spouse: Elizabeth Hopwood - spinster
Spouse Age: 24

Father: Henry Fifield - labourer
Spouse Father: Charles Hopwood - labourer

Reference Number: 3046/1/15

Both give address as Mill Street.

1891 The Union Workhouse of Kingston, Coombe Road, Kingston

Mary Fifield Pauper age 3 (3/12) b Kingston, Surrey
John Fifield Pauper age 77 General Labourer Widower b Hampton Wick

Just to clear up which birth cert ...

Mary Elizabeth married Charles Mansey

so discount that one
