Greeting’s again Sheila……..

TUT..TUT……… That would be the easy way !!!!..

Plus I doubt if they would be allowed to photograph them
as they had not committed a crime. …
I also would think Photography was still in it’s infancy…….
and where would they get the best clothes from to do this?

I know from my relatives that Dr Banardo’s did photograph all new intakes
But this was in 1910.( and they ALL had the same set of clothes on.)

The other way would be to get out the Admission & Discharge Workhouse Books.
And hopefully get the clues from them….

UPDATE. ...

Found this link :~

http://www.workhouses.org.uk/index.html?Leicester/Leicester.shtml

Just the one Photo of some of the inmates .

If you scroll down to the end of page

Under the heading " INMATES "

There is a link to Inmate names on the 1881 census night.

Hi again

I don't suppose Mike would know if anyone had the foresight to photograph the inmates of the Workhouse in Sparkenhoe Street about the time of the 1881 census...if they did it might be the quick way to solve a family mystery...

Cheers

Sheila

Greeting’s & Welcome Pammy…..

It runs to the West from Mere Road / Spinny Hill Road.
At the right side of H. Bones Cycle Shop opposite Green Lane Road
through to Farnham Street It was a cobbled jitty.
Houses start half way down on your left hand side

Next Street along was the famous "Charnwood Street."

As per usual it's not there today.. a nonconformist type Church stands on the site
Plus a New Public house " The Charny " stands where Charnwood Street was ....

Hi all
can any one tell me where Occupation st was in Leicester? i have found my Husbands grand father as living there in the 1901 census but can not find it on any old maps, the name of the family was cory thanks pammy p

Still looking for Arthur Smith, grocer, of 2 Denmark Street. Born in Leeds c1882 to William Smith and Annie (nee Bodycote) he was still around in the 1940s when he was a witness to his half brother William Goadby's Will, but no-one ever mentioned him and I don't think even my mother knew he was a great uncle...

Also Bradburys of Harrison Road (originally from Bedworth) and the Phillips family (originally from Crowland, Lincs)

Thanks Sheila

Greeting’s Folks………

Not that I blow my own trumpet often……….

But anyone seen tonight’s “ Mr Leicester Page” in the Mercury ?

“ Stoughton Grange” was where my Grandfather was employed as
a Gardener / Gamekeeper.& Grandmother was a Cook in the Kitchens.
I’ve often wondered what the Grange looked like now I know…
very Grand !!! What beautiful neat gardens…….
