Albert Francis Devaney appears in the 1881 census at Union Workhouse School at Kirkdale . he is shown as age 14, an inmate/scholar and born in Sheffield Yorks. He does not appear in the 1871 census. Question: Does anyone know if the records for this workhouse school exist and what would they contain, I'm looking for his parents. Thanks in advance Dave D. Ontario

Hi David I see him married in 1891 to a Mary Elizabeth and I found this marriage but it is transcribed as Alfred not Albert, if you think it is him the cert would give you his fathers name which may then help you find the family in 1871 Christine Free bmd site shows Marriages Mar 1889 Adamson Elizabeth Toxteth Park 8b344 DEVANEY Alfred Francis Toxteth Park 8b344 ***** Hall Richard Samuel Toxteth Park 8b344 Newton Mary Elizabeth Toxteth Park 8b344 ******* 1891 England Census about Mary Elizabeth Devaney Name:Mary Elizabeth Devaney Age:22 Estimated Birth Year:abt 1869 Relation:Wife Spouse's Name:Albert Francis Gender:Female Where born:Liverpool, Lancashire, England Civil parish:Toxteth Park Ecclesiastical parish:St Thomas Town:Toxteth Park County/Island:Lancashire Country:England Registration district:Toxteth Park Sub-registration district:Toxteth Park ED, institution, or vessel:12 Neighbors:View others on page Household Members:NameAge Albert Francis Devaney23 born Sheffield Mary Elizabeth Devaney22 John James Devaney2/12 Thomas Edward Devaney3 Source Citation: Class: RG12; Piece: 2925; Folio 83; Page 29; GSU roll: 6098035.
