Im not sure if this is of any iterest to anyone here but, I have some photos of children at an Orphanage in Rochdale. Im not sure if its Buckley Hall or not. The photos are taken around 1901-1905 (rough guestamate) One in particular is a group of boys (30 odd) best dressed and they are all brandashing trumpets.  Is there another orphage in Rochdale around that time?. Also, does the book contain any lists of children that lived there? I would like to buy the book, but Im not entirely sure if I have the right orhanage   ???

Would love a copy of any photos of Buckley Hall boys as my grandfather Laurence Silk and great uncle THomas Silk were there in 1901-1905.  My grandfather played the euphonium in the band. There were orphaned at aged 12 and 10.

My grandfather and great uncle Laurence (aged 12) and Thomas Silk (aged 10) were both Buckley Hall boys from 1900.  My grandfather played the euphonium in the band. I have no pictures of the time other than in the Buckley Hall book I purchased. Don't know if they are in the photos there. If anyone has any other photos I would be extremely grateful to have a copy.
