GEORGE MULLER HOMES - ASHLEY DOWN, BRISTOL
I am interested in hearing about PERSONAL experiences of children brought up in the George Muller Childrens Orpanage homes in Ashley Down, to the north of Bristol.
The period I am particularly keen to hear about is from the beginning of the 1900's.

Perhaps a parent or close relative told you about their time there. What was day to day life like.
Funny or sad incidents, personal rememberances.
Did they like it or hate it
That sort of thing.

Please get in contact, I really would love to hear from anyone with something to contribute.
Thanks
Alan

Unwanted Birth, Marriage, Death Certs T to Z / Re: Taylor, Harriet 1918 St Pancras. Death Certificate.

Just came across this posting.

Sorry she is not your relative, but she is mine!!!
Are you Francis ?

What threw me is the witness (Florrie) giving the wrong husbands name.
Not surprising when its remembered that Harriet's husband Henry died before Florrie was born.
The confirmation about addresses came in the 1911 census, and some letters written by a vicar in 1907.
Thomas Taylor was Harriet's brother, who I think lived with her in later life.
