Does anyone know what information could be obtained about an adoption which occurred around 1890? |

adopted , in those days, usually meant ''one we treat as our own'' |

Adoption didn't exist until 1926 or 1927 (I can't remember which!) so he wasn't adopted and there will be no adoption papers. |

Don't know what area this is, but you could run his name past salvation army etc and other local organisations. His fostering could have been arranged by an organisation. |

What is his birth name - you may be able to find a cert. Most "adoptions" were by family members or friends. |
