Union Road, Erdington, Birmingham - Workhouse
Looking into my ancestory l have found out my mother was born at Union Road, Erdington on the 18.11.1918 which l found out later to be a workhouse, my Grandmother was unmarried, does anymone know how l can get a list of the inmates at that time, my mother last saw her mother when she was 14 years old (1932) at Summerfield Hospital, l do not know when my Grandmother was moved there, my Grandmother died in 1976 at All Saints Hospital, l never knew my Grandmother, l think my Grandmother was in institutions all her life, my Grandmother was 22 years old when my mother was born. I have been to the Birmingham Archives and have been given permission to look into old records of Summerfield Hospital and All Saints Hospital but l have been unable to look into old records of Erdington House/Aston Union ????, l do not know what happened to the records of Union Road. l found one entry in one of the records of Summerfield/All Saints Hospital of my Grandmother it was dated 5th November 1924 in the last column was a date of 20.08.1939 was my Grandmother moved again on this date, this date was against quite a few inmates/patients. I do not know how long my mother was kept with my Grandmother but l do know she was living with a married couple who took to her at what age l do not know, the man l think died in 1940 (was he the father of my mother) the lady was alive when l was born and we use to call her Nan, not knowing at that time of my real Grandmother, if anyone could help me l would be very grateful.
