Regarding my uncle on previous message he was in cottage home wednes field thanks teresa

Hi I wondered if anyone know what the school was called near the cottage home my uncle was here in 1939 and we would like to trace his school history.
Many thanks Teresa

I have so many memories of the homes, particularly "Momma Judge", Mrs Judge and her Daughter who had Down's. There's much confusion and I'm unable to put the Jigsaw together. I really does feel like there are pieces missing. I can remember going to a "Panto" arranged by the Local Fire Department, but I couldn't tell you what the Panto was.
I'd like to contact anyone who was there, at all, but especially those who were there between 1974 and 1980. Johnnie.

Both of my grandparents were in orphanages as children. I have a bible which was given to my grandmother and on the front page it says Stockwell Orphanage. It was a sturgeon home and my grandmother was placed there around 1900 to 1903 when her parents died and her grandmother became to infirm to care for her and her brother. Would there still be records and how can I access them? Their names were Annie Francis Abbott and her brother was Frederick Charles Abbott.

Hello. I spent many years in Sir Josiah Mason's Orphanage in Erdington, Birmingham prior to being removed and placed in the National Children's Home. I would very much like to hear from Violet Green, Anne Weeks, Nadine Higginbottom (and her sister) and anyone else who may remember me in the orphanage. I have vivid memories of my years in the orphanage and clearly remember the cold dormitories, ablutions, huge dining room, long corridors, sick bay, staff rooms, church and swimming pool. In fact I remember the complete outlay of the inside of the orphanage and reminisce about it often. I spent about 7 years incarcerated in there. There were 4 Houses within the orphanage....Johnson, Edward, Jevons and Tangy and I was in Jevons House - (sorry if I haven't spelt them correctly but I can't remember accurate spelling). I hope there's someone out there that remembers me....I wore spectacles because of a convergent squint and had to constantly listen to taunts from my peers. I eagerly await a communication from someone who shared my life in the orphanage. Kind Regards, valerie

Kathleen Puskunigas/Phillips was placed in an orphanage ran by the Nuns of Nazareth in or around Liverpool in 1937. I am guessing it is Crosby. If anyone has any information it would be most helpful.

Thank fully, I was relocated from private Foster care @ 39, St. Georges Cresent, Aycliffe, Dover Kent to Eastry Childrens Home, Nr. Sandwich @ age 8.

Although the Eastry School Headmaster - Mr. 'F' was wicked and cruel to us Boys 'from up the Hill' the Childrens home / Orphanage was a blessing. Mrs Betty Harris (RIP) was like a Mother to us. jwb

Message for Sheila Graham mentioned in post 236. This is a long shot, but I am trying to trace anyone who lived, worked in Nazareth House, Yelverton in the early 1950's. I was there with my twin Antony David from 1952-1954. Antony died at 5 months. I would like to know what kind of treatment the children received there, I have no recollection of it. If you can help I would be tremendously grateful.

I am looking for any information at all about my grandfather Frederick John Gillott, or Gillett. I've heard he may have changed his name when he immigrated to Canada. He was born in Chiswick, England in 1896 and lived in Horton Kirby Kent, England. My goal is to learn more about his family before he was an orphan. I also know he immigrated to Canada in 1907. Please, any information at all would be helpful.

I am looking for information about my grandfather, who was born in England in 1896 and immigrated to Canada when he was a boy around 11 years old. His name was Frederick John Gillott, or Gillett. Ancestry.com says he was born in Chiswick, England and lived at Horton Kirby, Kent England. Any information at all would be helpful. He died in 1975 - the year I was born. Also his wife and my father have been deceased since I was very young.

I was sent to an Open Air Boarding School in Broadstairs, Kent, at Fairfax House, about 1957/58. I was there for about a year I believe. My best friend was June Chadwick and when my parents visited once a month from Essex in their car. I used to take June (and sometimes others too), out for the day with us in the car, as many children didn't get any visitors.
I would love to track June down to see how her life panned out. Any leads would be very much appreciated, thank you. I now live in Cheltenham, Glos.

My mother, Jean Evelyn Wilson, was at Clacton On Sea during the was with her sister Freda. She then went to a War hostel, got married to Julian Patrick (Pat) White and moved to Australia, then America. Trying to find my roots!

Nazareth House, Hammersmith. I think my mother may have spent her early childhood there. She was born in 1923, adopted in 1933 but possibly left the home around 1930. Her name was Louise Fauste. It was subsequently changed by her adoptive parents to Patricia McCabe. She had no birth certificate and possibly spoke French. I am anxious to know where she spent her formative years. She seldom spoke of them (shame) and was what we would today call 'damaged'. Any guidance would be gratefully received.

any body that was in Nelson cottage dorking in the 1960s get in touch reunion! wood be good idea.michael
