Hi, I wonder, after reading all the messages about the Workhouses of Birmingham if anyone can help me. I have just found out with the aid of 1911 census that my father was in the Instutional Workhouse Solihull nr Birmingham (as it was then). He was not on the 1901 census with his mother but on the Solihull Census for that year. Now I see he was there at the age of 10. Does anyone no of this Workhouse and if I can get further records. My mother and two of her sisters were placed in the George Muller Homes in Bristol in early 1912 on the death of their father. I have managed to get all the records from that home. Any help would be gratefully received.
