Thanks Clare ,
                We had found the Cencus but are trying to find where Philip Gibson went after Feltham School , as he disappears by the 1891 Cencus , but could be in the Army ? or  abroad somewhere ? so we are hoping that  the discharge information points us in a good direction .
                  Philip Gibson's past until he arrived in Bristol in 1928 is sketchy at best so we are looking for confirmation

regards

Hi Dawn,
            I  wonder if you can  help me as I am trying to research my wife's grandfather , Philip Gibson , born Aug 1870 in London , and  I have found a possible in the 1881 Cencus as being an inmate at Feltham Industrial School ,but have now searched this site but cannot find him ? He is a mystery and disappears in 1891 , possibly army ? as my father in law remembers that his dad was in the Boer War .
            If you do find him can you also check for any other details , ie family history , reasons for entry , when he left etc .
            I would appreciate any help that you can give us as we are in Canada and have to use the web for our searches , but a contact Dale Sullivan from Bristol suggested that you had a good deal of research on Feltham .
regards
