I'll try the bmd site

Hi Shirley, I searched for Sandwell training house and found all sorts relating to today. On the information you found it states that Sandwell house is an institution and looks like most of the residents are under 20. Could it have been a school?

Just looked up Sandwell training institution and discovered it was an Anglican Educational institute from 1857 to 1897 when it became a Lunatic Asylum.

After that it became a school for the mental defectives. In the 1920's it then became a boys borstal and was later demolished in 1928. Doesn't sound like a place I would have liked to be.

Did you get this info from the 1871 census Shirley.

Thanks.

Still having trouble with this site and some of my replies have not been posted .

If you look at the image of 1861, as we did, you will see that the birthplace has been mistranscribed.
