I have most but its just the blanks I cant figure out?!!!

"admitted from 28 Havelock St
c/o Mrs Sullivan _______ 12-7-21
                        _______  14-7-21

[Eidde]

Is the first one 'to Whse 12.7.21' (i.e. workhouse)?

[Eidde]

The second may be 'to Homes 14.7.21'. Cardiff workhouse (if this is where we are) had cottages for children, the Ely Homes.

Thanks, this sounds reasonable! Do you know much about the workhouses/homes? Specifically, would it have been reasonable for him to be transfered from a home/workhouse in Cardiff to liverpool??

How old was he when the transfer to Liverpool occurred?
Perhaps to learn a trade.

Also the 1920s and 1930s are when the workhouse system started to come to an end:

I'm afraid I don't know much about workhouses, so I can't help you there.

Just wondering whether the apparent 2-day stay was because the person was admitted to the Hospital rather than the Workhouse itself.

I note that you say in another post (in the Glamorganshire forum) that you assume your ancestor was transferred to Liverpool, but also that he ran away from a boarding school when he was 14. Could he have just run away from Cardiff to Liverpool? What makes you think he might have been 'transferred'?

[Trudle83]

The person in question is my great grandfather & the information I have is from my grandfather who has always told the story that his dad (who was originally from cardiff) rad away from a boarding school in Liverpool when he was 14yrs old

I believe the cardiff union workhouse record I have for him is correct as his birth date matches & it also names his sister 'Nellie' who we know was a sister he lost touch with.

Based on the union record & the notes relating to Mrs Sullivan of 28 havelock st I have managed to locate him on the 1921 census as an adopted son.
