Charles Henry LEWIS

[paul1947]

I am trying to find further info on Charles Henry LEWIS b1881 Manchester.

Both his parents appear to have passed away in 1891 so it appears he a resident(orphan) in the Williamson's Orphanage , Claverton Down , Somerset at the time of the 1891 census.

Does anyone know of this orphanage and whether there are any records available to confirm he was there. I cannot trace death records for his parents Henry and Ann Marie Lewis who appeared in the 1881 census but not the 1891.

His sister Bertha Maria was living with her Aunt and Uncle /  Jane and George Sims in Timsbury , Somerset in 1891.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Regards

Hi there

Given where Bertha was in 1891 could this be father Henry's burial?

Timsbury St Mary 11 Feb 1883 Henry Lewis age 24 of Timsbury

You could try emailing the Somerset Archives to see if they are aware of any information on the orphanage , archives@somerset.gov.uk
