NotesA birth registration was found for William Granville P Chads; Year of Registration: 1877; Quarter of Registration: Apr-May-Jun; District: Kensington; County: Greater London, London, Middlesex; Volume: 1a; Page: 4. Parents: Herbert Chads and Annie Seaborn.

In 1881, William G. P. Chads, 4 years of age, was residing at 120 Edgware Rd, Marylebone, London, England. Other family members included: Annie Chads, 34; Cecillia E. Chads, 1; Herbert Chads, 43, Clerk, Civil Service; Herbert A. Chads, 12; and a visitor, Georgina West, 48.

In 1891, William Granville Parker Chads, 14 years of age, scholar, was residing at District Christs Hospital, Christschurch Newgate Street, London, London, England. [EDITORS NOTE: Christ's Hospital was founded by a charter of King Edward VI in 1553. It was set up by various citizens of London to help poor children who seemed to have no chance of bettering themselves young. In the early years of its existence, children were sent to the hospital mainly from the London area, but by the 1800's children were admitted from across England and Wales, and a few from Scotland and Ireland. Children were sent to the hospital as early as 7 years of age and left no later than 15 years. Due to the original charter, the former hospital operates today as a charitable school. Before a child was considered for admission to the hospital, the parent or guardian petitioned a member of the board of governors or a benefactor for help in educating a child. Governors were usually London City aldermen (officer). With board approval, and after meeting the criteria, a child of the appropriate age was accepted. Proof was required to verify their age and destitute condition. Proof came from parish documents and affidavits from the minister of the home parish, and from other witnesses. Many of the children were fatherless, but not all. A child could be admitted even if he or she had a sibling already enrolled. The information gathered about each child constitutes a set of records called Presentation Papers.

Upon acceptance, the child's name was entered into the Children's Register. Besides the name, the register called for the date of admission, date the child was given a new set of clothes, the name of the benefactor, birth date and place, the name of the father (if known), and other items. When the child was discharged, the date was entered along with a brief explanation about where the child went.]

In 1891, Annie Chads, 45, was a patient at Leavesden Asylum, Leavesden, Hertfordshire, England. (Source: 1891 Census of England; Class: RG12; Piece: 1120; Folio 64; Page 1; GSU roll: 6096230.)
