Cheshire / Re: Chorlton Union Cottage Homes -Styal
« on: Sunday 24 June 12 23:19 BST (UK) »Thank you Col,
That site definatety resolves the question of how the names Chorlton and Styal Childrens home are linked.. I had imajined a much harsher environment but the builings seem to show quite a pleasant place.
Intersesting photographs..
My wifes granparents died within a few years of each other leaving several children.. some old enough to look after themselves, some adopted and the young went in the childrens home..
The youngest of the children was a girl taken in by a single lady as a companion... she was not allowed to see her siblings but she never married and remained with the lady all her life despite having a successful career in nursing..
The last of the children she died recently.
Thanks again for the posting
Hi,
I am looking for information regarding the Styal Homes for this period also due to a similar situation. Could I ask what the family name was of your relatives?
