Hi from Down Under!
I have just discovered my paternal grandmother had a younger sister no-one currently living ever knew about! We imagine the baby's mother, also called Jessie, was too distraught to ever mention her loss.
The Gorton grave record indicates she was just 3 months old when she died in Mar 1914,
and the record states she resided at Workhouse Infirmary - Withington.
Jessie Lord, buried 7 Mar 1914;
other searches indicate she was born 8 Nov 1913, Chorlton.
My grandmother was born in 1911 & her sister the year prior. Their father, Edwin, had died in Jan 1914. The two young girls & their widowed mother travelled to Australia in 1915.
How do I go about finding out about my young great aunt's admission to Withington? What information would be held & what organisation may hold details?
I & my extended family would appreciate any information that could assist us in learning about this little poppet.
Thank you,
Robyn Woodall
