Looking at the 1911 census page most of the boys were from London. This article might explain, it gives the history of the Industrial School

Hope it helps

Thank you heywood, that rings a bell with me, I'm sure I've seen addresses listed like that in Liverpool on a census.  So, final decision on the address is house no 1, in Court no 1, John Street. Thank you heywood and everyone

Thanks Victoria, that helps explain what happened. The baby Charles was born on 2 June 1848 and was buried on 1 August. He had a sister born a year later who also died within 3 months as well.  By 1851 the family were living in a cellar beneath a jewellers shop on King Street, Manchester, where the father worked as a porter, so that was a step up for them!  The elder brother of the babies became a solicitors clerk so he really did climb out of the gutter didn't he!

This address is from a birth certificate in Manchester but I am having trouble reading it. The address is John Street, I keep squinting at it but it doesn't help!

Wow, thank you both very much! I've just been on the Lancashire Archives site and downloaded Anthony's marriage to Mary Wilson! Having great fun, just shows what you can find if someone shows you where to look!  Irene

Hi Lynda, I have an interest in Anthony Stephenson of Selside. I think he is my husband's 3rd great grandfather. My Anthony was born in 1779 and moved to Manchester with his family about 1820.  Is he the same Anthony?  Irene
