5 minutes past 8, Christmas Eve 1907 – Charles Sunter enters workhouse
At 5 minutes past 8 on Christmas Eve 1907, Charles Sunter entred the Middlesbrough workhouse. The entry lists Charles as a labourer, a Wesleyan, and living at the home of his sister in Thornaby. It appears that Charles was not well at the time as he was sent to the hospital.
The Creed Register shows that Charles was discharged from the warehouse on 24th January 2008.
The workhouse admissions register was being searched for signs of the Sunter family being admitted following census (1911) evidence which showed that Lofty’s uncles Joseph and Edward had been admitted to the Edgeworth National Children’s Homne and James was being fostered.
Jane Ann Snowball was working as a relief foster mother at Middlesbrough workhouse childrens home.
No record of any Sunter, other than Charles, could be found.
