Hi Carol, great photograph of Newland Orphanage, any idea of the date?
My Aunt, Kate Elsie Lawson was there from 1926 to 1932.
I would like a copy of the photograph for our family history if possible.

Hi Heather, my Aunt was at the Newlands Home from 1926 to 1932, I sent some photographs of her with a group of other girls to the Hull History Centre last year. Her name was Kate Elsie Lawson. If you are not able to get to Hull I would be happy to send copies. There are also photographs of some of the I assume teachers one of whom was a Mrs Ashby. I ordered from the History Centre copies of the original application form for my Aunt which I had to pay for. My Dad and his brother were in the Seaman's Orphanage

Hi Carol,
The photo I have of the office staff at S.O.H. is of five ladies, I also have a newspaper cutting of one of these ladies on her wedding day. The husband appears in the picture you sent me today. He is at the top of the picture on the left. I have his name but not sure if I can post it here.

Please let me know
Interesting times!

Hi Carol, I have just finished reading through all seven pages of info. I see that you have a newspaper article from the 1930's, my dads sister was in the orphanage about 1930/33. Also you mention photos from the 1920's both my dad and his brother were there at that time. Any chance you could e-mail them to me please.

Regards

Hi Carol
The photo was a panoramic view of the band about a foot wide, it was always kept rolled up, it eventually broke into pieces. I have put it back together but about two thirds of it got lost over the years.
My dad always spoke of his time at the orphanage as one long round of fights, nothing but trouble. Dad told my sister years ago that when his dad died it was like going fron riches to rags overnight. A very unhappy time. He was only seven when he went in.
Thanks for prompt reply

Hi everyone, only just found your info on the hesslewood orphanage.
My dad, John Bernard Lawson and his older brother, George Herbert Eric were there from 1921/2 until 1928. Their younger sister was also in a home but not sure which one. I have one photo of a large group of the boys which includes my dad and his brother also fragments of a photo of the orphanage band.
Both dad and his brother played in the band and continued playing in their works band years later.
I have ordered from our local library (I live down in Kent) the book, Postcards of Hull, could be interesting.
Iam thinking of a trip up to see what the Hull History Centre can turn up.
