Olive Mount Lodge was most likely the gatehouse of the Olive Mount mansion estate. William Balmer who occupied the lodge in 1891 was a butler.

The whole 48 acre estate was sold to Liverpool Select Vestry in 1897 to be repurposed for children's cottage homes.

Why do you think it's an institution?

My bad Shaun,I had made a note several years ago as I couldn't find the siblings anywhere ,and I rather foolishly had it in my mind that they may have been residents at the 'children's home' despite the fact that they were obviously adults....so back to the search for me then.Thanks for your help Shaun,I appreciate it.
