GRO Reference: 1898 S Quarter in HUDDERSFIELD Volume 09A Page 350

The reason for his being taken in by another family may be deaths of either or both of his parents.

Look for records.................

There is a tree on Ancestry which seems reasonably well-researched............

Parents' marriage..........
