In England. the 1857 Industrial Schools Act was intended to solve problems of juvenile delinquency. , by removing poor and neglected children from their home environment to a boarding school. . The Act allowed magistrates. to send disorderly children to a residential industrial school. An 1876 Act led to non-residential day schools of a similar kind.

He is still married to Rose nee goldbold with a son Harold victor 13 years old at school. So far so good then another separate entry for Harold in an industrial school east ham London his birth place was right whereas in the other entry it was given as ham. Any ideas as to what went on? What is an industrial school and why has he disappeared from then on I cant find a trace of in any record after that.
