Lancashire Lookup Requests / Hightown Truant Industrial School, Southport
« on: Friday 28 April 17 10:07 BST (UK)  »
i am trying to locate the records for Hightown Industrial school.
mainly between 1883-1892 (at an estimated guess)

the individual i am trying to trace is William Archibald Edgar, alias William Archibald Greenash.
Born est.1878, either Scotland or  Liverpool.

There are records noting he was at this school and also time in Liverpool Prison (Wakfield Prison record 1900).
i can confirm him joining the 1st South Lancashire regiment around 1897 (date his Regt number issued) and trace him through time in BOER Wars in Africa and two marriages.
Any help or information would be gratefully received.

Hampshire & IOW Lookup Requests / Elizabeth Florence Jennet Booth - Children out of wedlock
« on: Tuesday 14 February 17 16:59 GMT (UK)  »
Help with out of wedlock children please!

Elizabeth Florence Jennet Booth - Born 1879, Salisbury, Wiltshire.

Census 1891/1901 residence in Fareham.

Children: 1907-Walter Dennis B Booth, 1909-leslie Dan Dennis B Booth, 1912- Mildred R L B Booth and Mary I V B Booth. These children were out of wedlock.

Married : 1913 to Walter Dennis Barnes. (Born 1868 Died 1938).

Child: 1915- George Herbert Kitchener Barnes.

What I can gather is the "B" in the out of wedlock children stands for Barnes and the coincidence of the fist child being called Walter Dennis Barnes Booth backs up the theory that Walter Dennis Barnes was the farther to all the children? how ever they did not get married until 1913.
I can find 1907' Walter Dennis Booth on the 1911 census as "nurse child" meaning he was fostered at the time.

I can find no reason for there being so many children from the same father out of wedlock as well as no other records on the census, any help with this would greatly be appreciated.
