Title: Lichfield Industrial School
Post by: adnil48 on Thursday 04 February 10 16:55 GMT (UK)
Hello ,
I have just found out that my uncle was in the Lichfield Industrial School prior to being admitted to Adel Reform School in 1911.  I found him on the 1911 Census in the Adel Reform School.
I was able to obtain his report whilst he was there and this states he was in the Lichfield School previously.
I do not know when he was in there but he was born Jarvis Gardiner in Hull in 1895.  His parents were James Robert Gardiner and Jane Ann Elizabeth Gardiner.
I can only find a Lichfield Industrial School for Girls on the internet.
Any suggestions please.
Regards Adnil48

Hi, I have just come across your post with reference to The Midlands Industrial and Truant School, Beacon Road, Lichfield.  My grandfather was in this school in the 1911 census.  I have been trying for two years to try and trace the records and they seemed to have disappeared.  Did you have any luck in finding the records?
