Bryant and May Liverpool
« on: Thursday 08 May 08 23:33 BST (UK) »
Does anyone have any information on an orphanage attached to the Bryant and May Factory in Liverpool. An elderly gentleman I know was told by his father that he and his sisters were sent to work there when their parents died. I have found his father age 8 living with his sisters and parents in Widnes on c1881 but cannot find any trace of the family in 1891. I have checked the list of Liverpool orphanages and other sources and cannot find any reference to it. Can anyone help?

Not without knowing their names, ages and birthplace(s).

i`m sorry,but i still can`t find any link with Bryant and May in Garston....the nearest orphanage to Bryant and May in Garston would be the Prince Edwin st orphanage and thats about 10 miles away...Garston didn`t become part of Liverpool until 1926...there`s some children in the orphanages from Garston Lancashire...thats how it was known ...allan

Allan, you do really need to get out of Garston more you know ;D
I agree with Allan here though the nearset being the place from the Dingle area North hill street.
Which is still a good 5 miles along the river towards the City.
Maybe this palce was affiliated to Bryant and may
Rather than attached.
Possible it could have been under the bridge somewhere
Or possible its part of the school behind the B&M along the walk way by the gas works.

Interesting to see you Garstonites are having as much difficulty as I was researching this story. I was sure that if a big company like B&M had an orphanage it would be recorded somewhere. I didn't expect to find the children in the orphanage in 1891 as they would probably be too old. What was also puzzling was that the family originally from Flint but living in Widnes 1881 would have been sent to Liverpool when orphaned and sent to work in the match factory.
