Hi listers - I wonder if anyone can help with some information. My late father-in-law was brought up at Watts Training School (after Dr Barardos) and around 1915 (aged about 16) he was moved to Birkenhead - and we believe went on to train at a place called Mercantile Marine. We can't seem to find out anything about this place - where it was, what they did. My father-in-law went on to work for Cammel Lairds. As he died many. many years ago we don't have anything about this period of his life. So we would be very for any information about just what Mercantile Marine was/is, or where Barnardos boys would be sent around Birkenhead/Mersyside in this period, after being at Watts Naval Training School - Jackie
