They have volunteer members who will be able to identify the correct family or more likely donate it to the London Metropolitan archive where the records of the boys from the poor law unions in the london boroughs are now kept. Whichever workhouse he was put into (or born into) the LMA will hold the records of the poor law guardians and his transfer out from the workhouse to the training ship,
found him, James Cuthbert born Bethnal Green 1889, on board the training ship Essex aged 12 in 1901 sailor boy in training.
In 1911 he was an Able seaman aged 25 on His Majesty's Ship Illustrious moored at Portland, Dorset.
I think in 1891, when he was 4, he was living with his Grandparents in bethnal green, no mother present. in 1881, The grandfather Edward Cuthbert had 2 daughters living at home, Esther Ann Cuthbert and Maria Elizabeth Cuthbert.
Maria Elizabeth married Walter Curtis Wand 23 April 1892, Esther Ann s 1869, was a servant in 1891 at 38, Upper Berkeley St, Marylebone. I would take her as James's mother. She married Arthur J Denton in 1899 and in 1901 had 2 children arthur aged 6 and edith aged 1.

just found his removal order, September 5th 1894, aged 6, Parish removed from Mile End Old Town, Nature of Settlement, grandparent, date of service 7th September, time up 27th september.
I think possibly James went to the USA in 1913 as a prospector but that's not 100% at this stage and I have to go out.
