Buckinghamshire / Re: Boys home,during ww2 Bourne End

Hi Graham.
Many thanks for responding so quickly. I have attached the photograph of Raymond, although it was taken in 1941 when he was quite small,  I would appreciate your opinion as to whether you think the background is the same as an area at the Homestead. It just might give me a starting point  the start the research again. Until reading and seeing your photo of the home I really did not know where to start as Aylesbury seem to have no info about the evacuees.
Thanks for all your help. If I manage to find info about Homestead I will post it on here.
Thanks once again
Regards Carol

Hi,
I have been reading your comments about the home at Bourne End and I believe that a cousin of mine might have been at that home from at least 1941 to possibly 1947. I only have one photo of him taken in 1941 stating that it was taken at aylesbury. Looking at the photos of the Homestead it looks as though the photo was taken there.
He was evacuated from Putney that is all I know. His mother went abroad without him and no one in the family knows what has happend to him. Can you help. His name is Raymond and he would have been 3-4 in 1941 so approx 8-9yrs old when you where there in 1945. I understand that he suffered with asthma. Like you I have had little information about the evacuees when I visited Aylesbury records office.
Any information would help. Many Thanks
Carol
