Thanks Judy Lester. It did cross my mind that it could be ‘6’ but didn’t connect with ‘Newland Cottages’……..obvious!! Confusing though when he is in the admissions column on 10/3/1903 and discharge column on 9/4/1903 to 6NC. Where did he spend the previous month? Poor little chap and poor Mum who was trying to juggle her two children and working in service. My grandmother turned out very well, but never talked about this part of her early life. Roland died aged 21 of Tuberculosis on 25.4.1914 - he lived at the Church Army Home in Balaam St. Plaistow, W. Ham. Grandma said that she had a brother who died in the war. Well, I guess he did! Thanks also for the interesting Workhouse link. Cheers!……….Judy.

Judy, he will have spent the month in Newlands House itself, which served as the receiving-home. Children were allocated from there to the various cottages and 'scattered homes'. Several homes in Friern Road were also used -- see the Workhouses link given earlier (scroll 3/4 down the page to 'Scattered Homes').
