  • Where do I go from here?

    Elizabeth Coole born approx 1868. In 1881 til her death in 1904, she was living in a Workhouse in Stapleton Bristol. On the 1891 census Elizabeth was described as a Epileptic, and on her death certificate it stated she died from a fit. I do have the death certificate but says little.

    I visited the Bristol RO was not allowed to view the Workhouse admission book, but the man who worked at the RO said he would look for me which he did. A couple brought Elizabeth to the Workhouse in 1881 but left no name or details.

    Can find nothing pre 1881, obtained one birth certificate for a Elizabeth Cole born 1867, the spelling of Coole does alter, father Michael, mother Elizabeth but she is still living at home in 1881.

    Who were her parents? did she have any siblings? and mainly has she any connection to my family, which is Coole.

    Any help would be appreciated

    Do you have a date in 1881 when she was admitted to the workhouse. If this is after the census then it could be the one you found.

    You may have already found:
    Name Elizabeth Coole
    Gender Female
    Christening Date 31 Mar 1867
    Christening Place St. Peter's, Liverpool, Lancashire, England
    Father's Name James Coole
    Mother's Name Elizabeth

              1891 Census:
              Have now found Elizabeth Coote age 24 b Liverpool working as a baker's shop assistant (boarding with Dairdson family) in Liverpool so she can't be 'your' Elizabeth - another red herring!

                    Certainly looks hopeful, Val, if so no connection to my family.
