The Heritage Centre have done what they can do for me. My Mother and her brother were taken into care in 1922. This is where my information gets shaky. I believe her brother was housed in Plemont Villa / House home for boys near the London Cemetery 1922 before going off to Canada. I have been lucky, I have learnt a little from my cousin on the lad's arrival in Canada. Can anyone fill in the gaps in the early stages of the children's movement? I have copies of the court papers and there is no mention where they went. Maybe St Faith's Shelter or other Girls / Boys Homes. I have learnt there was a Girls home at the top of Hill Street but I don't know how to open their doors. It took a long time to squeeze information out of the Authorities because of the disclosure of information. I have to learn how the lad went to Canada and my mother was moved at the age of 6 to Bristol run by the Nuns (Workhouse?) for 10 years. I would like to fill the early gaps in the children's life so I can write it up.

Hi Tony, I completely understand the desire to not put names on the internet but it makes helping almost impossible. I think that it would be unlikely anyone could help anyway over events that were 100 years ago but even a newspaper search would require names.
