Tim Sunter's family history

A web log of my family history research

New Workhouse Shock: 1911 Jane Ann Sunter (nee Snowball) at Middlesbrough Workhouse

Middlesbrough Workhouse Jane Sunter 1911 Census

In 1911 Charle’s Sunter’s mother, Jane Ann Sunter, was working as a Relife (sic) Foster Mother for the Board of Guardians at 28 Childrens Workhouse Home Middlesbrough.  The rest of her family is not recorded with her, and indeed, I cannot find where they were living at this time, other than Charles.  On the night of the census Jane was working with the Foster mother and 14 boys are under their care.  Her employer is given as Middlesbrough Board of Guardians.  It is not clear whether Jane is working there of her own free will or of necessity.
