The info posted by Caroline Lancaster was very helpful (my mother-in-law was born in the Stone House) and I am trying to get further information about her mother) but the link no longer works. Does anyone have further information or an up to date link please? |

Not sure if you can help me. Searching for wifes Great Grandmother Louisa Stimson. Although I have birth date I cannot find a birth record but would like to know more about what her role would have been as she gave birth to her children at Stone House. One of her children was born there in 1925. I take it that she would not have been a slave to the workhouse and that this was a cottage hospital at this period. I am also unable to find any further info on where she worked as she stated on her sons birth certificate that she was a domestic servant at Clarence House, Chandler Road, Bexhill. What was this place? Was it just your normal everyday domestic household and she was employed by them. Going back to the hosptal, I have photos of her with groups of children as if she is some sort of nanny. Would this have been typical at a cottage hospital and would I find any record of her there? Sorry to ask so many questions but I am having difficulty outlining her life whilst in these places. |

Hi Caroline, you gave me some info in 2006. I have left another message but it will not show till tomorrow. If you have any more info i would be grateful if you can e-mail me.- [email protected] My mother had another sister called Nancy . She was in the old Battle workhouse when my mother was born. Her other sibling Vera K penfold was born in 1925 in Eastbourne, so i am assuming Nancy was born after Vera. When my mother was born, her mother Agnes went to live at an address in Kent, but i don't think Jesse went. Ithink they might have seperated . yet to find out if Nancy was Jesse's child. |
