    1. [COUNTYCORK] Orphanages circa 1920
    2. cherie richards

    3. Hi, Can anyone point me in the right direction? I am seeking information on orphanages in Cork City and Cobh in 1920. I would also like to know if the Union Workhouse/Hospital may have functioned as an orphanage at that time. Any and all leads, comments, ideas appreciated.

    3. Cherie While I can not answer your specific question, I would recommend that you spend some time on Peter Higginbotham's website "The Workhouse". It is an excellent resource for anyone wanting to know about the history and life in a workhouse: www.workhouses.org.uk Additionally here are 2 workhouses on his site that may be relevant: http://www.workhouses.org.uk/index.html?Cork/Cork.shtml http://www.workhouses.org.uk/index.html?Midleton/Midleton.shtml According to Peter, records are found; Cork City and County Archives (Formerly Cork Archives Institute) http://www.corkcity.ie/ourservices/rac/archives/ "...Holdings include: Guardians' Minutes (1839-1924); Indoor Relief Registers (1840-1920); Indexes to Indoor Relief Registers (1853-1921); Indoor Relief List (1924-1925); Record of Death Books (1853-1931); Register of Deaths (1884-86); etc." Bill Hazelton Memphis -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of cherie richards Sent: Thursday, February 22, 2007 12:01 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [COUNTYCORK] Orphanages circa 1920 Hi, Can anyone point me in the right direction?

    3. Thank you Bill. I am familiar with the Workhouse site (what a great job he has done!) and have visited the Cork Archives to view the records there. Extant records for the Cork Union Workhouse do not address this issue as far as I have been able to discover. If anyone else knows differently or knows of another possible source, I welcome your thoughts.
