There is a Mary FEATHERSTONE of about the right age in the 1901 census:

This looks to be the same BARLOW family in 1901:

Meanwhile, Thomas Sr. is back in Tunstall:

-- and 21 lodgers, including:

Val,

Hold on, maybe we have something here:

1901 Census: RG13/2592 Folio 9 Page 10
Address: 67 America St., Tunstall, Staffordshire
-- Joseph BAKER Head M 41 Fried Fish Shop ?Dealer? [born] Tunstall Staff
-- Winnifred do Wife M 35 [born] do do
-- Mary FEATHERSON [sic] Adopted 14 born Glasgow Scotland

Looks like a match to me!

I have located the Wolstanton and Burslem Union Workhouse listings in the 1891 census but I don't see Mary FEATHERSTONE -- Reference: RG12/2160 Folio 110 Pages 1-11. However, if she was left there at the age of 8, 1891 would be too soon -- she wouldn't be there before 1893. Perhaps she is still in Scotland in 1891.
