Hi all
I am trying to find out about the Portsmouth and Hampshire Industrial School for girls.
In 1891 the school was in Waterloo Southampton Hampshire.
The reason for my interest is that I think my great grandmother was an inmate there in 1891 aged 8. Her name was Emily BROOK(E)S.
I have never managed to find a birth certificate for her despite looking for 5 years either side of the year she said she was born (April 1882), and on her marriage certificate she did not know who her father was.
In the 1901 census Emily gives her place of birth as Aldershot Hampshire. She was by this time living in Surrey.
Any information on this particular Industrial School, especially if it is known that admittance registers still exist, would be most welcome.
