Hi Ady

Any records will be at the Cheshire Records Office - http://www.cheshire.gov.uk/recoff

Here is a good link to the history of Industrial Schools - http://www.hiddenlives.org.uk/articles/raggedschool.html

You could try emailing the archives first.  They might have them.

Have you tried Birkenhead Library, in the Reference Dept. They hold all the local (normal) School registers?
