Hi, I recently joined the SFHS, and am trying to trace my great-aunt Eliza Catherine Yeomans. She was born 24 Mar 1882 in Shrewsbury, daughter of Martha Crowder (my great grandmother) and William Henry Yeomans. But due to dire circumstances Eliza and her mother became inmates of Atcham Union Workhouse, Berrington, in 1887, where Martha died the following year. Eliza herself last appears in the 1891 Census as a 9-year old inmate of the Workhouse.
I have been unable to positively identify her on any subsequent records, and I wondered if there might be any discharge records available from Atcham Workhouse. I live in Cheshire and am unable to visit the Record Office in person. Eliza's family story is complex and heart-breaking, and I would love to know what happened to her. Any help or information would be much appreciated, Thanks.
Hi Kenneth,
Could this be her? On the 1901 census there is a Kate Yeomans, age 18, Kitchen Maid Servant, born in Shrewsbury. At Rodbaston Hall, Penkridge District.
