Wow, this is all great information - thank you !

This is my husband's family and I'm blown away to discover from Richard's WW2 draft card that he was living in Cleveland, Ohio - just four miles from my own family who emigrated there from Wales.  Incredible!

Lots of blanks still to fill in but the information so far is brilliant.  Thanks everyone !

It seems that the boys who were there had been in some sort of 'trouble', as they were sent there under order of the courts.

Apart from the one you mention, there are a couple of other newspaper reports 1900-1901 of Isabella being in court for being drunk and disorderly.

Thanks Jen

It seems from there they somehow ended up going to Canada under the care of Louisa Birt of the Liverpool Sheltering Homes for Destitute Children.
