I have found a great great uncle of mine a William Bates aged 11 years on the 1901 census at Daisy Cottage, Benfieldside, Durham. There seems to be rather allot of residence so I am led to believe it is either an orphanage or a workhouse. Is there anyone who has heard of this? and where would I be able to find out more. If William lived in Gateshead would this orphanage be a relevant place to send him when both his parents had died. My Nan has said that one of her mothers brothers was sent out to Australia how would I look into this further. Any help would be gratefully received Thank you Stacey Other names of interest in Newcastle and Durham Craig Bates Hall Bridge Young
