    3. Thanks for your patience! Found in the London, England, workhouse Admission and Discharge Records, 1659-1930 Roland ASSITER (my grandmother’s brother, recently discovered!) Birth date: 1893 Admission Age 10 Admission Date 10 Mar 1903 Discharge Date 9 Apri 1903 Borough Southwark Parish or Poor Law Union Camberwell. Place, London England Title Newlands Cottages Registers, 1903-1923 His birth name SEGGER has been crossed out and his birth father’s name substituted. He was born illegitimate in Kersey Suffolk - father not named. My Grandmother, Lillian May ASSITER was given her father’s name but there is no record of a marriage between, George ASSITER and Emily Selina SEGGER. In the column, ‘To whom transferred’……..’To ?CNC’ A further record of Discharge 16.Jan 1904 from Parish of Camberwell, Title, Scattered Homes , Peckham 1902-1907 showed Roland discharged to: 26 Friern Rd. along with nine other children. I note that on the previous record, he was discharged to his mother who is described as a servant at 101 Friern Rd. E. Dulwich. She was there in the 1901 Census. Roland was living with his maternal Aunt in Upper Tulse Hill, London (Now Brixton) and his sister, my grandmother was with her paternal Grandmother, in 29 Stafford St. Camberwell. On 24.08.1903 Lillian May ASSITER was admitted to Woods St. School and left (to another school, not named) 4.11.1904. Her guardian was named George ASSITER. I think my lovely Grandmother would be mortified if she knew I had discovered all this - let alone shared it across the world! Hope all this makes sense……….Judy. Perth W.Australia
