Johnstone

I am after info on my grandfather
alfred Johnstone. He was born in Bristol late 1800's and after his parents died was shipped to Austrslia with his brother supposedly with Barnados. I would like to know what happened to his parents. I know they were a very poor family and his grandfather died in Bedminster workhouse. Any info would be appreciated.
