Does anyone know if it's possible to find details about institutions on the site? I've had a look at some of the census' and found some relatives attended 'Edward House' in Leeds, which is probably a school, but I don't know anything else about it. Another attended The Crossley and Porter Orphan Home and School in Halifax, which I know is pretty self explanatory, but just wondered if there's any way I can get more info. Ta Jen
