St Michael's Industrial School, census taken 31 March 1901

(Includes Convent of Mercy, Home of Industry & House of Mercy)

Townland : Townparks, Parish : St John's, Barony : St Iberius, Town : Wexford

Please note that when children were to be sent to an Industrial School, the courts sent the child to the school with an available place. Little or no consideration
to the county of origin of the child was given. Consequently, in the records below, you will see that many children at St Michael's were born outside the county.
They had probably also been living outside the county too. A court order was required (see newspaper extracts) for a child to be sent to the school. As with
the Workhouse, by the 20th Century, payment or part payment was expected, by the next of kin, for the inmate at the Industrial School.

If a field is blank then it was illegible on the original. While every effort has been made to faithfully transcribe this return, no responsibility is accepted for
any error made.
