Hi List I am doing some research for my daughter-in-law and have found that her Great Grandmother Charlotte Nicholson was in the Female Orphan Asylum at Beddington for the 1881 census. I think her sister Annie was also there. Charlotte was born in 1867 in Lambeth and her parents were George Nicholson and Charlotte Stepney. Charlotte was in Australia in 1892 and I am not sure if she came from the Orphanage directly. Does anyone on the list have access to the records for this Asylum and when Charlotte and Annie entered and left the Orphanage or could tell me where the records would be kept. I am currently trying to find the death's of Charlotte's parents and their whereabouts in the 1871 census. Thanks in advance Gerry in Oz
