Additional information and Comments

Hello. Have just found your web site. Would be most grateful for any help. My Grandmother and her Sister were placed in an Industrial School in 1886,the school was in Walton in Gordano Somerset. Would like to know about the Industrial School and I am trying to find out why and who placed them there. A Sir Elton Bart payed the fees. They were Edith Mary Archer b1878 Peckham, Ada May Archer b1880 Lewisham. Any advice or information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for taking your time to read my request. Julie Moss
