Was she actually an inmate in the Reformatory? (Sorry if you've already said).
She could have been there for any sort of fairly minor crime (by today's standards) or possibly no crime at all, but being seen to be in need of reforming, e.g. was keeping bad company or was out of parental control. Anything serious would have had her in prison I think, even though she was only 15. OC |

I agree with that. Her parents may even have been dead, it's hard to tell!

OC, still waiting confirmation as to whether she was an inmate or a "teacher/domestic etc." was just curious as this would be the first instance so far of anyone in the budding tree, being in a "correctional" institution. Thanks for the info.

She was an inmate scholar like all the other teens in the reformatory.

Hiya Wendy and girls....after just reading this thread,I can only apologise to Wendy for not getting back to her regarding the other Wilson owned business in Garston...this company was started by Mr Wilson...there was also a Wilson Hall, which was built for pensioners to meet up - this hall had groups on in the 50`s and 60`s...The Beatles being the most famous to play there as well as Billy Fury...the profits went to the pensioners...and Mr Wilsons daughter married Graeme Souness the footballer....I think the money from Famous Army Stores funded the Starways Airline company ....

The Beatles site tells us that FRANCIS WILSON built this hall...pretty sure he was the founder of the company...he would have been born around 1890-1900.....so I think Wendy needs to try and see if there is a Francis Wilson connection ...my mum was courting the son of Francis before she married my dad....to think I could have had RED hair and been rich....(my dad always used to say to my mum when they argued over money - if you`d have married carrot head , you wouldn`t be moanin about money would you ?) lol

Allan, it looks like Wendy's Wilsons came from North Meols.
