Great mystery to solve - boy's names are Gordon, father is Shaw, grandparents are Boyden.

Sorted. Well done keyboard.

 I think I was thrown by thinking father's surname was SHAW, rather than it being his middle name. 

It all fits together nicely.

Boys being in an industrial school is a bit of a mystery. Maybe they were sent away when father remarried. Not sure how dates fit in though?
