Does anyone have any information on an orphanage attached to the Bryant and May Factory in Liverpool. An elderly gentleman I know was told by his father that he and his sisters were sent to work there when their parents died. I have found his father age 8 living with his sisters and parents in Widnes on c1881 but cannot find any trace of the family in 1891. I have checked the list of Liverpool orphanages and other sources and cannot find any reference to it. Can anyone help?

Interesting to see you Garstonites are having as much difficulty as I was researching this story. I was sure that if a big company like B&M had an orphanage it would be recorded somewhere. I didn't expect to find the children in the orphanage in 1891 as they would probably be too old. What was also puzzling was that the family originally from Flint but living in Widnes 1881 would have been sent to Liverpool when orphaned and sent to work in the match factory.

Allan, We are both wrong
It is actualy 4 miles from Vineyard street to North hilly.
Nether the less, Its still a bit far.
has your missus not bumped into the old chap yet.
There used to be a orphanage on Aigburth road.
just after the garage and Grassendale road.
Its a housing estate now.
But that is still a good 2 miles up the road wouldn't you say.
