Is anyone able to look up the above gent for me please. I have a notion that he may have spent some time in the Workhouse after being orphaned. Many Thanks.

In 1891 he is with some of his siblings in Camberwell in the home of Fanny PRESLAND.

He was in the Southwark workhouse admitted from Newington and discharged at his request 26 April 1911.
He was in the Strand workhouse listed as an accountant 28 December 1912 through 31 December 1912.

Many thanks for your help with this. Looks like he had short stays in the Work House thankfully. And being listed as an "accountant". Quite amazing really that he ended up in this situation. Though I understand that back then if somebody became infirm and unable to look after themself there was sometimes little option f no family were on hand.

Those records on FamilySearch are not indexed on the website. We have to find them. Quite often that means me!
The porters books are on ancestry but I'm not sure that they have indexed them? They have of course done most of the standard A+D registers now.
