Hi Shirley. Her mother died in 1911 and her father in 1946. Not quite sure where your Mossendew connection fits in and as far as I know she didn't have a brother only a sister Mary Ann who died I 1990. |

just browsing recent threads ... and having a slight interest in home children as my Hoar ancestor's sister-in-law emigrated and married a home child who was one of the cheap farm labourers that many of the boys were sent out to become ... |

Hi Joonie. Thanks for that. Lots of food for thought! I have just sent for her birth certificate in the last couple of days so hopefully it will be of some help. The last record I have is in Wavertree cottage home in the 1911 census as she doesn't seem to have gone back into the workhouse. There is no record of a marriage or a death under Sarah Meadley so the only other 2 possibilities are adoption or being sent as a migrant child. Both seem to offer nothing but dead ends. |

That's true Jax. There are endless possibilities. Let's hope info on the birth certificate will help. Thanks both. |
