Hi I don't know if LRO have records for St Edwards? One of our members will know.
It was in Broadgreen run by the Brothers of Charity, who didn't spare the cane. Despite this, online comments say they had a good all round education. A wonderful band and football team from earlier years.

Hi I've been in touch with the Brothers of Charity ,all they could tell me was the date he entered and the date he left ,no clue as to where he went though
