I am looking for my ancestor Robert Pearson born c.1878 in Newcastle upon Tyne. He is on the 1891 census as in inmate in an industrial school for boys. I am very interested to see what happened to him after that. |

As he is your ancestor, what child of his is related to you, and how? |

So he's not an ancestor. An ancestor is only someone from whom you are directly descended. Sorry to be picky but I see it mentioned so often. Someone talks about an ancestor but then it turns out that they're not. |

I'm not 100% to be honest but I know he is not with the family in 1891 or 1901. |

If he is a direct ancestor then we know he must have had a child. If he is a brother of an ancestor he could have died, gone awol, gone abroad, changed names, all of these things etc etc. |
