Hi, Sydney was my father and his brother Frederick Charles died in 1914. His mother Ada went to Whittington Hospital and I think that is why my dad went into the home. I think she was discharged from hospital after 18 months but did not go back for him. I wonder if she went to the workhouse so that is my next task. I cannot find any marriage for Ada and Fred, I also cannot find a death for either of them. I do have a photo which I think is of Fred in an army uniform so thats another line to follow.

Hello Polly. Was Ada his wife? Did they have children? Have you checked out potential deaths for them?

Looking for Frederick Rose/Ada Roberts lived in Islington in 1911. Nothing after 1911 census.
