Ta...From my notes on the Burnham Industrial School. Taken from Papers Past<br />Parents: Harriet Ann and Albert. Hawke's Bay Herald, Volume XXII, Issue 7149, 29 April 1885, Page 2. Albert Norris, a boy 11 years and four months old, was charged under the Industrial Schools Act with being a neglected child. Constable Brosnahan stated that the father of the lad was in prison, and that his mother was leading a dissolute life in Dunedin, The boy had been adopted by a person who now seemed to be tired of him, and he appeared to be frequently beaten. Witness took charge of him after a recent beating. His Worship ordered the lad to be sent to Burnham Industrial School, to be brought up in the Anglican faith till 15 years of age. See also brother William's record<br /><br />Albert had also been placed in the Caversham Industrial School in 1884.<br /><br />Parents Harriet (nee Ralph from Victoria Australia)and Albert. Press, Volume XLIX, Issue 8196, 11 June 1892, Page 2. William Henry Norris, aged 6 was brought up under ... the lndustrial Schools Act for having been found residing in a brothel. The case was held over until the mother of the child had been given notice to appear. The mother...said she could not control the child. The child was illegitimate, and the father was dead. She was prepared to pay 2s 6d per week. The mother was ordered to pay that amount per week, and the child would be sent to Burnham. Placed out in 1905 and absconded and thus returned to the school. See also brother Albert's record. There is no record of the father's death so that could have been a lie.<br />Gaylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00033827012220291781noreply@blogger.com
