Sounds like he was at the 'naughty boys' school'!

I'd like to give the excuse that his dad died in 1903 - but that would be letting Richard off the hook for his actions. (Wonder what he did?)

What I really believe is that he should have 'kept his nose clean' as we were always told to do.

Thank you, Maddie, for your help.

I wonder whether anyone would be able to help me with Richard Guest, born 1886, please?

I've found him as follows in 1901:

Newton-in-Makerfield, Warrington District, Lancashire:
Richard G Guest, aged 14, Inmate, born Everton, Liverpool (Occupation Machine Feeder)

Since access to the original documents was changed I can no longer check earlier pages to see what kind of institution Richard was an Inmate in.

Does anyone know, please?
