...You really know where to find information, Dawn!<br /><br />I don't think this Annie Wildgoose is Walter's sister. She was sent to a girls' home in Whitley Bay, not to Sheffield with her father. There are, however, lots of Wildgooses in the Sheffield area (father John was from Sheffield), so she may be some relation. From Walter's accounts, he didn't see his sister from the time they were shipped off in different direction until they met up again in London (Annie introduced Walter to his future wife May). Still, stranger things have happened!<br /><br />Thanks for this. If anything, it gives insight into the process and environment.MaryBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02412656596874731198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15261050.post-47263220888056573372011-03-14T17:32:31.261-04:002011-03-14T17:32:31.261-04:00I have some documents from the Sheffield Union Min...I have some documents from the Sheffield Union Minutes Book (1910) that have mention of my relatives, and <i>unbelievably</i> it also includes one <b>Annie Wildgoose</b>. Amazing how many similarities my story and yours (Walter) mesh together! <br /><br />Here is the transcript regarding Annie: <br /><br />The Estimate and Punishment Book was presented at the meeting, August 1901. <br /><br />The Committee discussed the steps to be taken to deal with a girl named Annie Wildgoose, at East View, Upperthorpe, who had been giving a great deal of trouble and appeared to be incorrigible, and.... <br /><br />Resolved: "<i>That the Medical Officer for the Upperthorpe Homes be requested to examine this girl as to her mental condition and report to the next Meeting of this Committee</i>."<br /><br />Report: A report from the Medical Officer of the Upperthorpe Homes, on an examination he had made at the Committee's request, as to the mental condition of a girl named Annie Wildgoose was read, in which he stated that he could find no trace of mental alienation. No further action was therefore taken in this matter.Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10013260157110672965noreply@blogger.com
