Searching Ancestry 1901 census for pauper scholar in the relationship box and Ewell in the parish box with no name specified brought up a list of children born 'unknown probably Kensington or Chelsea' . The institution is an enumeration district all of its own listed as ' District Kensington and Chelsea Schools' and the description says: Kensington and Chelsea Schools Cottage Home Schools of the Kensington and Chelsea Union Fir Tree Road Ewell
