By 1891, William and Elizabeth disappear and their son William is a sailor living in Hull.
Charles is at the District Gordon Boys Home, Chobham, Surrey. Gordon Boys Home was for Homeless and Destitute Boys. Charles Robinson attended the school from 24 December 1890 until 5 Aug 1892 when he joined the 21 Welsh Regiment as a member of the band. His admission into the Gordons Boys Home was signed In Loco Parentis by George Busby. His admission form states that it was Not Known if his parents were alive, and he had one brother at sea. A Mary L Egerton signed the certificate and undertook to pay the sum of ?22 per year in advance for as long as he remained in the home.
Matthew is a servant at Plompton Hall, Plompton, Yorkshire.
Adela is now known as Adelaide and is living with the Smith family in Four Lane Ends, Killinghall, Yorkshire
Adelaide is my great grandmother.
I am seeking any descendants of William, Charles and Matthew.
Many thanks
