Hi,

thanks for the prompt reply, I've been going around and around the internet looking for this, without much success.  I've been doing a little on my family history and now find I have a lot of names but no information regarding times, events what it was like etc.  I've had a quick read of the link you sent me and I'm sure it provide me with lots of information to move forward at last.

Again thanks, I'm sure after this rapid reply I'll be posting more

Cheers
Norma

Northumberland / Cottage Homes boys ophanage in Ponteland Northumberland
« on: Saturday 03 July 10 00:26 BST (UK)  »
I am trying to find out infomation and if there are any record books about this ophanage which was just out of the village of Ponteland on the road to Kirkley in the 1930's  It was set up by the Poor Law Guardians of Newcastle upon Tyne in 1903

My father attended from a very early age until he was old enough to leave which was around about 16 I think. I would like to find out if there were any records of his time spent there, about life in general.

Any help would be appreciated

Cheers

Norma
