This
is outside of Toxteth but is included for family tree purposes.
A trade
directory for 1860 places a 'Catholic Boys Orphan Asylum' at 9 Everton
Crescent - Everton Crescent although not shown on many maps is simply
a separately numbered portion of Everton Brow, set back from the
road and clearly crescent-shaped, even on those maps where it is
not named (is 1905 series). The birth
of John Matthew Jared (to Sarah nee McGrevy and George Jared)
on 1st April 1860 is at 9 Everton Crescent, which is a portion
of Everton Brow set back off the road and separately numbered. This
is the Catholic boys orphan asylum of which George Jared was Governor
in 1861.
In the 1861
census, George Jared is governor at the Boy's Orphan
House (Catholic). This is not numbered, nor is an address given however
examination of the ennumerator's route places it close to Everton
Brow and the entry is after No 71, which is at the junction with Netherfield Road South.
In
the 1861
census Sarah
Jared, (nee McGrevy) wife, 33 (b. 1828) b. Harrington, Cumberland is Matron, George Jared (3), 42, (1819), b.
Liverpool, is Governor. The
couple have two children Elizabeth 14, (b.1847) Lancashire, Kirby
and John, 1, (b.1860) Lancashire, Everton. As George and Sarah were
only married in 1857, Elizabeth is assumed to be George's daughter
by an earlier marriage, John is assumed to be George and Sarah's
child. The census entry (RG 9/2710) runs
to four pages.
.
Significant (second icon of the four) is Mathew Tyson, 10, b. Liverpool, in
the home - as Sarah's sister Catherine has a son Mathew Tyson
(same spelling) b. 1852, Liverpool. who is otherwise missing from the
1861 census and not with his parents.
Within a short time
this institute moved and as there are a plethora of Orphan
homes and training institutes in the area around Everton Brow and
Shaw Street at this time, (and later) the history of this exact
institution is difficult to trace. It is certainly NOT the St George's Roman
Catholic Industrial School which was at 29 Everton Terrace as which has a separate
census entry in 1861.
It is probable that it was the earliest
incarnation of the Liverpool Orphanage Industrial School
for
Roman Catholic Boys. (a.k.a. Orphanage Industrial School for Roman
Catholic boys, Beacon Lane,
Liverpool, and Beacon Lane Roman
Catholic Industrial School for Boys,
Beacon Lane,
Liverpool). This institution was, for some years, in operation on the voluntary
footing, under the management of Sisters of Charity, superintended by the Rev.
Canon Fisher. As managed by the ladies, the school was adapted for the
reception of the younger class of boys. The ages of admission was from 4
to 14 years. The school was certified 21st July 1868 for 200 boys but
it is on record as having been founded before 1862. It is said to
have been probably started in 1862 at Everton Crescent, however
there is a census entry for 1861 which names it. This is staffed
by my relatives as above and as they are at the same address
in April 1860 it seems likely that this pushes back the suggested
date of foundation at least two years.
The later history of the
instituion does not involve my own family however http://www.missing-ancestors.com
shows the following:-
An institutional building which had been built around.
Became an Approved School for 150 juniors from 1933.
