Found 3 girls:
1901 Ellen Dayton Age: 13 b1888, Eva Dayton Age: 15 b1886 and Lily Dayton Age: 17 b1884 - all b Fulham and Inmates.
ED, institution, or vessel: Millers Orphan Houses
Civil Par/ Town: Bristol Glos.
Ecc parish: Bishopston St Michael and All Angels
Reg district: Bristol Sub reg district: Ashley
Went to page 1 of census images to check the institution. Typed page with staff etc but no name.
Have googled Millers Orphan Houses - nil. BUT MULLERS orphan houses, Bristol come up with good resutls. Here's a bit from Wiki:
'Ashley Down is a small area of Bristol sandwiched between Bishopston, Horfield and St Werburghs. The main artery is the Ashley Down Road. Places in Ashley include Ashley Down, Montpelier and St Pauls.
Its centre piece is the City of Bristol College, Brunel Campus. This has in its past been used as the film set for the BBC television series Casualty, and started out in life as an orphanage.
The college buildings on Ashley Down Road. In 1845 George Müller entered into a contract for the purchase of 7 acres (28,000 m²) of ground at £120 per acre (£0.03/m²) for the accommodation, feeding, clothing and education of 300 destitute and orphan children. On 18 June 1849 the orphans transferred to the new building, designed by local architect Thomas Foster. By 1886 Müller had received £700,000 through prayer and had over 2,000 children in his care. Whilst these buildings stand mainly whole today they are being slowly converted into flats and other affordable housing.
In 1958 the children and organisation headquarters had moved from Ashley Down and the buildings became Bristol College of Science and Technology (more recently changed to City of Bristol College, Brunel Campus).
As an aside, Muller Road which runs near the site of the orphanage and is named after its founder, is the longest road in Bristol without a pub on it.'
There has been a book written about Muller and the high standards he upheld.
On Ancestry, there must be over 17 pages of census images under the District of: Miller's Orphan Houses.
If you agree with me and they have got this wrong, how do I tell them? It's not just one thing mistranscribed.
Thanks. Got to go out for a bit to get the feeling back in my legs :D Liz
