This is why its complicated. Ann's mother Ellenor seemed to be married to a guy called August Malily but later divorced or he died (he was a german seaman so just before WW1). Ellenor later married James Willian Davies. So Ann may have been Malily at birth but later became Davies. So - her maiden name and married name could have been Davies

Thanks! I have checked with Lpool RO. They dont have any records for Newsboys. I suspect it may have been taken over by another charity at some point. It doesnt show up on he 1911 census.

THOMAS GEORGE DAVIES was born in Liverpool on 10 April 1902. We know for definite his moher was called Ann and his grandmother was ELLENOR. The name of his father isnt clear. THOMAS GEORGE always referred to him as WALTER. However, there is no trace of a birth of TG with Walter and Ann as parents. There is though a birth of a Thomas George Davies on the exact date with Ann Davies and William Bridger Davies living at 14 Hamilton Terrace. I suspect this is the parents. They had a daughter Lucy who died as a toddler in a house accident. TG's parents both died about 1905. TG was then put in the Newsboys Home until his teens when he went to sea.

Does Father Berrys Home have any connection with the Newsboys Home for Destitute Friendless Boys that was on 122-126 Everton Road? I'm trying to find a relative THOMA GEORGE DAVIES b. 1902 who was there from about 1905 when he was orphaned until about 1913.

I cant find the Newsboys in the 1911 census.

Any help welcomed.
