I was born in November 18th 1928, mother 's name Margaret Ellen sullivan she lived at 24 palmer grove Birkenhead she was a daily domestic servant at Salisbury street Birkenhead. From my birth certificate my father is unknown, I would appreciate any information you may have regards how I spent my younger years as I have no real recognision other than I had Scarlet fever and later wento to live with a family in Mold North Wales. I would love to know what happened to my mother, so would appreciate any help or information you may have concerning me.

I am researching the Lindstrom family. Two of the children were orphaned in 1887 and sent from Scotland in 1887 to the Liverpool Seamans Orphanage.
Frederick was born in 1878 and was accepted into the orphanage in 1887. He then went to the USA in 1897.

His sister Mary Agnes in 1887 was taken to the orphanage in 1887 but as she was 13 years old the orphanage said that she was too old to stay there.
Their father was Swedish Neil Lindstrom and mother was Scottish Catherine McNaughton.

I am wondering if anyone knows where the orphanage might have sent her after refusing her entry.. Any help would be appreciated.

I am trying to find any information about my early years. I have limited information other than I was born at 24 palmer grove birkenhead on the 18th April 1928 . My mother 's name was Margaret Ellen Sullivan, she was emplyed as a daily domestic servant working at salisbury Road, Birkenhead Liverpool. From my birth certificate my father is listed as unknown. I believe I was placed in a children's home or possibly an Orphanage from an early age. I was taken in by a family living in Mold North Wales when I had contracted Scarlet fever and was recovering. This is all I know about my family, I would love to learn whether I was abandoned and if I have any more living relatives ie Mother having more children?

yes I remember well The Cottage Homes ,Mr Price from Heol Gam had a film club once a week, my main focus of interest was Susan Jones who was the daughter of the man that was in charge of the homes, I was totally in love with that beautiful girl ,she was a pupil in the year above me, and I still am.

I was a patient in 1952 . I was then about 8. I don't remember the names of any other children. I had TB.

I am looking for anyone that knew my mum she was born in 1939 her name was Carol Ann Howe I would be grateful for any info
She went to Edgeworth children's home

Hi. I was in Druids Cross children's home in Woolton Liverpool from about 1968 till just before it closed about 1970. My sister and I have very fond memories of the home in particular Rene Carter & Sister Mary Gregson.

Sister Mary kept in touch with us till I was about 16. We visited her when I was about 14 in Blackburne House Lancs. At that visit she set up a screen & showed us hours of cine footage of our time in care. Until then I had only 1 tatty photo. What a joy to see those images. She has since died about 20 years ago but I'm hoping somewhere out there her cine tapes still exist. I know she had a brother in America who was a doctor & a mentally handicapped brother in Lancashire.

Maybe you can help..?.?

Would also love to hear from anyone else who was there.

Thank You.

Hi I am trying to trace some family history on behalf of a close friend whose mother (now deceased) was placed in care in a Family Cottage Home at Aldringham, Leiston, Suffolk in about 1954/5. Her name was Patricia Robinson and she was about 8 years old at the time and we think she remained there until she finished school. She also had a sister in care with her called Yvonne.

Any information regarding the Cottage Home itself or the above mentioned persons would be greatly appreciated....

Is there any information about this place having been used as a "STOP-GAP" for children waiting for adoption and where will records be stored? Thank You.
