Sir Josiah Masons Orphange admissions and discharge

proper brummie kid
I have a relative named Mary Lizzie Middleton b 1873 who was admitted to the orphanage prior to 1881, when she was on the Census, and I believe discharged aged 14. Can anyone help me get hold of the details as I had them once but have been ill since and lost lots of info.
Can someone tell me where she may have gone from there too?

Hello Christine
Did you have any luck finding out where we can locate records. My grandfather Samuel Joseph Bennett was in Josias Masons Orphanage from 1857. Thanks
