Has anyone any idea why a 16 year old would be on 1901 census as being in the Barracks whilst his parents were in Kensington? Could this be a military school of some sort? |

In the late 1940's up to the 80's you could join the army at 15 years old, they where called The junior leaders. |

At 16 he could be in the army proper, as a drummer or some such. What is the regiment stated in the 1901 for that barracks. |
