Member Since: March 2003 Posts: 64 Send Message	Hi am currently researching my Guscott side of my tree. I was wondering if anyone could tell me why children would be put into these institutions when they are not orphans. I only ask because there is a Henry Guscott b.1873 of Devon in an orphanage in 1881 census but with his parents in 1891 census? Any suggestions? Quite a newby so anything helps. Mary-lou
