1891 so looks like Henry is in a home

Middlemores Home for Emigrating Waifs and Strays

my aunt was in a Middlemore home too and went as a home child to Canada in 1909 on the same ship !!

William was not a witness at Ada's marriage and as already indicated Henry went to Canada 1891.

Ada?

Thanks everyone.

Since William does not seem to be on 1891/1901/1911 census and there do not seem to be any likely deaths the next question is did he go into military or immigrate?

Have had a look for immigration..so far nothing stands out....
