Care of Children 1899 Neglected - due to alcohol addiction? - In 1899 both Thomas and Martha were charged with neglecting their three children, and ended up in prison, while the children went into the workhouse.
The conviction was reported in the Liverpool Mercury of 5 Apr 1899 (p.4, col. 8)
"Cruel Parents. - John and Jane Pierpoint, Prince Edwin-lane, were charged with having neglected their four children. It was stated that the prisoners were of drunked habits, that their home was filthy, and that their children were neglected. Prioners were each sent to hard labour for three months. - Thomas and Martha Gotham were for a similar offence sent to prison, the former for six weeks and the latter for a month. Mr. A. J. Cleaver prosecuted on behalf of the Liverpool Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children." - under heading 'Liverpool and District Police Courts' and sub-headings, 'Tuesday, April 4' and 'Liverpool', with item beginning, 'Before Mr. W. J. Stewart, City Stipendiary.'
A similar report appeared in the Liverpool Weekly Courier of 8 April 1899:
"Protecting the Children
At Liverpool, on Tuesday, John and Jane Pierpoint, 8, Prince Edwin-lane, were charged with neglecting their four children. The parents drank to excess, the house was empty of furniture, and the children badly neglected. One of them had since died from tuberculosis. Prisoners were sent to gaol for three months each. Thomas and Martha Gotham, 11, Bostock street, were sent to gaol, the man for six weeks and the woman for three months, for a similar offence. Mrs. A. J. Cleaver prosecuted on behalf of the Liverpool S.P.C.C."
