Debbie, As an original Hastings resident now in Australia, can I suggest you contact East Sussex archives in Lewes and via them the Hastings Library. They have been most helpful to me over the past year and just may be able to locate Bourne Walk for you, and then maybe the electoral roll for the address. Also some of my London ancestors became orphaned about the same time period, and were sent eventually in 1906 to Canada to the McPherson's home in Ontario, Canada, later taken over by Dr Barnardos, and became what is known as British Home Children. You may like myself find a record in the passenger lists leaving the UK for Canada, on Findmypast.com, and from this the arrival lists for the same ship and voyage from the archives in Canada. There is a message list available dedicated to British Home Children and you could find a record of the 3 TUBBS children by asking on that same list. britishhomechildren@rootsweb.com Unfortunately on arrival in Canada most sibling orphans or British Home Children were split up and ended up in different families, you may be able to locate them listed as English born "Home Children" on the now available 1911 Canadian census. Also as in my case the two orphaned boys later joined the CEF in Ontario in 1915. Attestation papers on line when located revealed next of kin names and addresses back in the UK. My own father was himself a UK based Dr Barnados boy, and a few years back, at my request, following my father's death they sent the entire contents of his file to me in Australia. Hope this helps, Best regards and good luck in all your searches for 2008, cheers Bob in Australia ----- Original Message ----- From: "Debbie Jesson" <wjesson@sentex.ca> To: <SUSSEX-PLUS@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, December 30, 2007 2:16 AM Subject: [SXP] Address: Bourne Walk, Hastings - in 1910 Greetings, I wondered if someone could help with finding an address in Hastings? On a death certificate, I have the address of 8b Bourne Walk, Hastings. I looked on the present day map and couldn't locate it. Is it still there I am working on my Granny's lost family....'TUBBS' ...that lived in St.Leonards and Hastings up to that point , but seemed to have disappeared from then on. The 3 kids ( and recently found out that there were more) were sent to an orphanage and eventually came to Canada. Granny would never speak of her time in the home and destroyed all records. I have searched from that point forward for deaths of her parents, to no avail. I even had the Sussex group to hunt for a grave site...but none showed up. The family is as follows: ALBERT E. TUBBS - father - b. 1877 CHARLOTTE LAVINIA TUBBS (no marriage record, so may be under her maiden name of ROSE) -b. 1875 REGINALD TUBBS -b. 1903 ALICE TUBBS - b. 1906 WILLIAM TUBBS - b. 1910 My interest in finding the address is, that it might be a worthwhile investment to order the 1911 census. Any suggestions? Thanks for any help. Regards, Deborah
