Hi Dawn,
            I  wonder if you can  help me as I am trying to research my wife's grandfather , Philip Gibson , born Aug 1870 in London , and  I have found a possible in the 1881 Cencus as being an inmate at Feltham Industrial School ,but have now searched this site but cannot find him ? He is a mystery and disappears in 1891 , possibly army ? as my father in law remembers that his dad was in the Boer War .
            If you do find him can you also check for any other details , ie family history , reasons for entry , when he left etc .
            I would appreciate any help that you can give us as we are in Canada and have to use the web for our searches , but a contact Dale Sullivan from Bristol suggested that you had a good deal of research on Feltham .
regards

Hi bristolacton

Welcome to Rootschat  Grin

The only research I have done is for chatters on here.

The main records that survive for Feltham are the discharge registers. A lot of children at these types of school went into the Army or Navy. There are a couple of miscellaneous general indexes but they are not complete.

I will check the discharge registers for Philip Gibson and see if there is any further information.
