Hi

It was a 'last chance' look in the Dursley Workhouse.

Ada Lilly Workman had 5 older siblings & in 1901 they were in the Workhuse in Thornbury.

Their mother Sarah Ann Workman was living in 1901 with her new partner William Beckerton. in Alderley, just outside Wotton under Edge ( following the death of her husband in 1897 - Joseph Workman )

I have looked at all the family members that I know of to see if Ada was with any of them in 1901 - but cant find her anywhere.

Looking at the childrens births - although they were all born either Charfield or Wotton U Edge, the older 5, were registered Thornbury & Ada was registered Dursley - so I wondered if she had been sent to the workhouse there.....

I dont know where else to look for her.
