Hello, sorry to barge in on your conversation but I really need some help and you seem like the people who might be able to help me!
My Mum is trying to search for her Fathers family history (he was adopted in about 1919 and we know very little about his birth family). We need to know about Colbeck House in Pateley Bridge. I've tried so many people but nobody seems to know anything. I even went and visited but found nothing. Do you know if it was maybe a home for unmarried mothers around the 1900s or maybe somewhere you took children when they were to be adopted. He came from quite a well-off family and I think he would of been cared for very well. We know he was there with a woman called Janet Rait Dall/Dail.
Sorry this is a bit garbled,
Thankyou for your time
Nic
