Ohhh Ok,  I have not had much to do with workhouses, tho I find the stories interesting I have never tried to delve into records and stuff. Its all very interesting and thank you so much for all the help and input of your experience and thoughts.

Thanking you both so very much.... Even this is much more then I thought would be found.

Yes John, Fred and Florence would of been the  youngest of the children the other where probably old enough to be working yes RTL that is there birth years.

Possibly Grandfather John Cowe may of looked after him? Funny that he was only there for an hour  and looks like the other two after 12 months. Perhaps one of the older sister or brother took them.
I sometimes wish we had a time machine to go back in time

Thanking You all so very much for the time that you have taken to check all this out for me, very much appreciated.

Warmest regards
Chris

NRO 7146/3/1  1888 - 1921  Register of Boys at Greens Home Industrial School, South Shields ( a branch of HMS Wellesley) for boys up to age 12 .  After that they would be transferred to Wellesley for training in seamanship.
The register contains - name, age, date of admission, home town, charge, term at the school, date of discharge, the Board of Guardians to be charged for maintenance and who ordered the admission

First off thank you so much for  having a look, The above might be a worth looking at but don't go to much trouble, It would be  like a needle in a hay stack.... I was only guessing a nautical ship because of him being a Merchant Seaman later.
He could of been put anywhere and most likely  the two older kids and the younger one also, I dont know if they would of tried to keep them all together or not, The older ones was probably older enough to go out in the world on their own.

Thanking You Christine

Oh  My that would be awesome and I really don't mind waiting, but only when you are going there dont make any special trip

Thank You so very much

Chris
