Institution at 1 Christchurch road, Birkenhead

[Aks]

Several of my great aunts were in an institution at 1 Christchurch road, Birkenhead, in 1901, according to the census, at ages 6, 10 and 12, after their mother died, whereas the boys remained with their father. Does anyone know what institution this would have been?

The description of the enumeration district could give the name of the institution.
What are the names of the children?

Thanks, Stan. Sorry, they are Marjory Mary Bertha Sillitoe (age 12), Marjory Mary Sillitoe (age 10) and Mabel Martha Sillitoe (age 6).

There is something written after "head matron" in the first entry that I can't quite make out. As to the enumeration district, perhaps I'm looking in the wrong place.

Hi Alan,

In 1891, the same Matron (Maria Evison) is shown as the Matron of All Saints Home for Orphans and Destitute Girls, but the address is shown as 5 & 7 Fairness? Rd (RG12/2892 86 6) Not sure if the Home moved or if the address was renamed but

Kelly's Directory of Cheshire 1902 (found at http://www.historicaldirectories.org) shows
Miss M Evison, matron, All Saints Home for Girls
1 Christ Church Rd Birkenhead

The census clerk extracting occupations has written 'Instit." after Head Matron. The Census does not say what the institution is but Tati has found it.

And after trawling through all the enu districts from No. 1 found it under No. 33.

Many thanks to "Tati", Stan and Sandy. It's a good thing there are some people out there smarter than me (perhaps a lot, actually).

I think Stan's second reply was for my benefit, as one who has yet to grasp the significance of these enumeration districts.

Thanks again,

Alan
