| Description: |
S's mother was 15 when he was born. She was a servant and S's father was her employer. She subsequently married a barber and had two other children. S's stepfather treated him cruelly and his mother wanted him to go into the Society's care as she feared for his life. In July 1884 S. was boarded out in Oxfordshire. Although in July 1889 there were plans for S. to return to his mother in London, in August he went into service at a vicarage in Carmarthenshire, Wales. He worked there for over three years. By March 1893 he was living in London with his mother, who was apparently intercepting his mail. |
