Hello,
I have the following details for 4 girls with the surname Kinchin present at the Dorset Home in Poole in 1921:
 - Elizabeth Kinchin, 14 years, 10 months old
- Ella Kinchin, 12 years, 3 months old. 
- Florrie Kinchin, 9 years 10 months old
- Lily Kinchin, 7 years, 10 months old.

All four girls have their place of birth listed as London, and the census taken has noted that their mother is dead. I don't know how that lines up with the information you already have?

The Dorset Home was sometimes known as the Dorset Home for Girls or the Dorset Industrial School. It was located at 32-33 West Street Poole, and it opened in 1865 and closed some time in the mid 1930s. Girls were usually sent for a period of time, or until they reached a certain age. At the point in time when the Kinchins were there children of WW1 servicemen could be sent to an Industrial School if they had no other means of support. I hope this is helpful for you, if you're still looking.

HI
Thank you for your very nice message which I have just read and will now dig out the old files  on my Kinchin relatives. I assume you have read the message from member Petur.  it's been quite a long time and I'm not sure if I had any further contact with him as I have not been active on site due to serious medical issues from July 2020 through to my latest bout Feb.2024.

I am now sending Petur a PM. and hope he is still looking for family history news. I do appreciate your info on the four Kinchin girls resident in the school in Poole Dorset. I am quite amazed at the age of the girl's we were led to believe  they were all very young almost babies,and their father was serving in WW1, their mother died about 1919 and an older sister Alice Marian Kinchin was in the house with her younger sisters. Alice Marian became my mother in law when she married Wm Charles Bosward in 1925 London.

Are you located in Poole Dorset  as I have another research of Bosward families living there who later emigrated to Australia.  it's also quite a mix up of family history If you would be so good as to reply I will forward some query in hope you could help me  sort it all out, Thank you.

Kind regards

Jane.
