I'm still having fun (I think) with my YORKS :)) In the 1881 census Charles YORK, age 13, has as his address The Industrial School Ship Formidable. Could someone tell me where I might find some more information about this industrial school and why Charles might be there? In 1891 he was a boot finisher. In 1901 he was a shoe maker. In 1911 he was a cask washer in a vinegar bewery. Where would the vinegar brewery have been and whose might it have been? -- Charani (UK) OPC for Walton, Greinton and Clutton, SOM Asst OPC for Ashcott and Shapwick, SOM http://wsom-opc.org.uk

One of my HASEs was also on the Training Ship Formidable which was at Portishead. There are some records in Bristol Record Office - too late for mine who was sentenced to 5 years there in 1870, but you might find something about why your Charles was there - it would probably have been as a result of a Magistrates' Order. A2A shows Panter, Woodward & Co as a Vinegar Brewery in Bristol This marvellous book has a reference to its position in Bristol http://www.archive.org/stream/howtoseebristol00nichgoog#page/n116/mode/1up/search/panter It was in Holton Street near Broad Weir (where my LONG ancestors lived) Cheers Pat ----- Original Message ----- From: "Charani" <familyhunter@family-hunter.co.uk> To: "B+D List" <bristol_and_district@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, May 04, 2010 6:10 PM Subject: [B&D] The Industrial School Ship Formidable > I'm still having fun (I think) with my YORKS :)) > > In the 1881 census Charles YORK, age 13, has as his address The > Industrial School Ship Formidable. > > Could someone tell me where I might find some more information about > this industrial school and why Charles might be there? > > In 1891 he was a boot finisher. > In 1901 he was a shoe maker. > In 1911 he was a cask washer in a vinegar bewery.
