Guest sal1974 Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 I have just found out that my 2nd great grandmother Elizabeth Beatrice Alice renshaw was born in grenoside workhouse in 1876. I have her listed on the 1881 census living on rock st described as a visitor age 4 and the 1891 census says stepdaughter. Anyone got any ideas on how to fill in the gaps as to what happened between her birth and 1891? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duckweed Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Sheffield Indexers have some school records but don't know if they cover Grenoside. Try Sheffield Archives catalogue to see if they have school records there if not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest sal1974 Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Thanks can't find any school admissions for elizabeth, I was wondering if she could possibly have been fostered out after being born in the workhouse. Would I need to go to Sheffield archives or local studies to find out more. I'm sorry I know very little about either :-/ Thanks neddy! I would never have found this marriage. On the census they were transcribed as Tom and Ellis siddington. I presume now that Ellis is Alice her mother and siddington is really Loddington. So she must have come back for her :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest sal1974 Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 Thanks that sounds perfect! On the birth certificate it says born at grenoside workhouse in 1876 but on the net it says it wasn't built until 1881! Puzzle upon puzzle this one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyn 1 Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 Grenoside workhouse was built in 1851 - opened I think in 1852 - known also as Wortley Union Workhouse. It was Fir Vale or Sheffield Union that officially opened in 1881. http://www.workhouses.org.uk/Wortley/ Lyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
