Bruce, I just read your mail again. As George was born in 1844 it is most unlikely he would be removed on his own, unless of course his mother had died. Unfortunately George was born before the 1844 Act (see the Acts of Parliament at the back of the book you downloaded), therefore there won't be a bastardy case in the Petty Sessions to look for either in the PS or in the newspapers. Bastardy is very difficult to research between 1839 and 1844! Thank you for your kind comments on our work. It makes it all worthwhile!

I saw this entry but didn't connect it with your research (sorry!). Unfortunately some of the minutes are not too helpful. As there is nothing else in the Spilsby Union Workhouse collection that will help, you might try the overseers accounts for Skegness to see if he is mentioned there, that is if there are any. Unfortunately there are no removal orders or settlement examinations for Skegness. However, the parish to which he was removed, which we don't know, and assuming that he was removed, will have had a copy of all the documentation so it could have survived in another parish chest somewhere. I tried the Lindsey Quarter Sessions poor law material where there are several Cabo(u)rns but not as late as 1845. Neither were there any for around this date on the Settlement Examinations and Removal Orders CD although there were a few Caborns there too. What you need is a clue to his parish of settlement, in other words, where was he removed to from Skegness?? The latter CD does cover all the material currently available at Lincolnshire Archives. There did seem to be several Cabourns around Alford. It is remotely possible that the case may have ended up in court, in which case the Petty Sessions minute books, again if there are any for this date, could be useful.

I had in mind making the journey from Berkshire to the Archives in Lincoln, but to my delight found the Lincs FHS had published extracts from the Spilsby Union Workhouse, and what's more, the booklets were downloadable for a modest fee. Within minutes I found this: "24 April 1845. Ordered that the Clerk do write to the Overseer of Skegness to take the necessary steps to remove George Cabourn to his settlement. [Page 392]". This is the only mention I can find, so I wonder what he had to do with Skegness. Any hints as to what I might do next? Lastly, may I pay tribute to the LFHS transcribers whose dedicated work made this swift discovery possible - in this case Pat Pomeroy, Kathy Hancock & Anne Cole in 2011.
