Hi

I an trying to trace my dads admission records, I know that on  the 1901 census he was in Gem St Industrial School, these admission records are covered by the 100 year law, but the Adoption Agency have done check for me, and there is no record for him,I do have his discharge  from there, they have suggested that he could have been admitted from another institute prior to Gem St and his admission records could be there.

His details, William Jenkins b 1886 Dudley Wood, on the 1891 census he is living with his parents Walter and Ellen nee Coley at 19 New Village Netherton

My question is, were there any Orphanage near to where he lived, or will I have to check every institution between Dudley and Birmingham, it seems strange that he ended up in a different County

Thank you Margp
