For queries within the area of Lancashire between the Ribble and the Mersey.
This board covers the areas of all our Groups - Liverpool, Southport, Warrington, Skelmersdale, Leigh and Widnes.
I've found an individual I'm interested in enumerated as a "Scholar in the Institution" along with a great many other children.
The said institution isn't named, either on the census or the enumerator's description of his round.
I can't find reference to it in any directory I have access to.
I can't find reference to it in the forum archives - although I'm not a whizz at searching them.
So I'm asking the ultimate source of information - you guys )
Can anybody identify what this institution is please ?
Morning Kirkdale1....had a quick google and found a reference to Liverpool Seaman's Orphans Institution established in temporary buildings in Duke Street in 1869. A possibility maybe?

Hi Kirkdale1,
Can you post the census RG reference, Piece, Folio and Page etc. Might be able to find the start page for the particular enumeration.

The piece I'm looking at is RG10/3777, Liverpool St Thomas District 11.
I think Pauline may have come up trumps.
The individual I'm interested in is James Bell Smith (groan), parents Susan nee Musker and Robert Scott McGregor Smith. He is enumerated as sailor in the 1861 census.
The 1871 census enumerator has the following in the address "prior to 128 (Duke Street) gas offices in course of erection" but no mention of the name of the institution.
Bob, worth googling "Liverpool Seaman's Orphan's Institution". A few hits with info. Chambre Hardman one looks good. I bet there are records hiding somewhere too!
Pauline.
Hi again,
With 182 'households' listed in Duke Street in the 1871 census, knowing the Folio and Page numbers, in addition to the Piece #, would cut down the search time considerably. Unfortunately they were omitted in your post. Could you complete the census page reference:
RG10 - Piece 3777 - Folio ?? - Page ??.
Thanks,
Dickiesam
