Royal albert orphanage ,Bagshot

[pardy]

I am looking for information on my two great uncle's who were sent to this orphanage when thier father died in around 1910. They were William John Smallwood B. 1903 and Joseph Horrace Smallwood b.1904. Thier parents were William Bozon Vavasour Smallwood and Edith Rebecca Smallwood nee Riddlestorffer. I would be grateful for any information.
Thanks

Bagshot is in Surrey, diocese of Guildford,  it might be a good idea to find the local records office to look at the orphanage records for that period, it will tell you if these boys were fostered and when they left the orphanage, this address may guide you

I know this was a few weeks ago, but just saw this thread. I took the liberty to look for these 2 children on the 1911 census, on the National Archives website. William John  Smallwood born 1903 aged 8 is in an Institution in Farnham, Surrey, and Joseph Horace Smallwood born 1904 aged 7 is living in a Household in West Ham, Essex.
You will have to pay for the full transcripts from FindMyPast website.
