Orphanage is 1913 Newcastle

I somehow doubt it.  I have never come across visits recorded with admissions.  I think there might be a possibility that he may have been sent to another place when he went out the first time or taken out by a relative perhaps.  If he did go to another institution he may have been returned briefly to the workhouse before being sent elsewhere.

I have come across this situation before where children leave a workhouse go elsewhere and then return.

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.

I think the Frederick Frater you mention might be my husband’s grandfather. He was a merchant seaman and the date of birth sounds about right. We believe he was Scottish and had lived in an orphanage for a while. He travelled to the USA and married Edith Wertner who was born in Washington State and later lived in Palo Alto, California. They had a daughter, Fayne Frater, who was my husband’s mother. We have a photoshop of him here somewhere but I’d have to go hunting for it. If you are interested, I’ll see if I can find it.
