UPDATE ; The Hallis (hollis)family had a tough start ;John and Robert were paupers in liverpool workhouse in 1941 followed by brother Samuel who was then sent to industrial school .a son Edward may also have been in an industrial school in 1881. .All went on to have trades.Aged 60 Samuel and Mary 55 ,took in my grandmother (maisie)as a boarder he,d adopted her by 1911 . they lived next door to his brother,s daughter Martha Harriet and her 2 girls
.Maisie moved in with "aunt harriet" when Samuel and his wife died
she marrried in 1924 from their house .
my mother doesn,t think there are any living descendants to share her memories of this lovely family with, or to share her research into kirkdale industrial school.please prove her wrong.

EDIT I have Maisie details already on another thread .

The HoLLIS Boys were not the same family as Samuel Hallis
Martha Harriet Hallis was in fact his eldest daughter
