Thanks to kathleen bell, found Emma nee Meadowcroft and her husband John Thomas Buxton b1858 parents of 'lost boy' John Alfred b1886 Liverpool. Parents disappear 1891 , boy with Moore family. Dad turns up 1901 living at North Western Hotel, Liverpool 'on own means', No sign of Emma. Son happy in South Yorks in 1901 where he married and had3 sons. Young John always thought he was a foundling and recollected being taken by somone to visit a man in hotel but didn't know who, it looks like Dad. BUT WHERE DID PARENTS GO FOR JUNIOR TO BE LEFT AND WHY NOT ON 1891 CENSUS, they married in Liverpool 1st Q 1885. Thanks wENDY
