Yorkshire (East Riding & York) / Re: Seaman's Orphanage Hull
« on: Friday 10 August 12 13:17 BST (UK) »
Following on from my first message - which has appeared on the forum somehow!! - I wonder if anyone can help with the following:-
In 1961 my wife was a bridesmaid at her uncle's wedding which took place at Hull's Derringham Bank church. There were 4 bridesmaids, 3 of whom were family members. The fourth was a girl named Gwyneth aged around 14 years. Gwyneth was from the Hesslewood orphanage. Her surname is not known.
Last year was the couple's golden wedding in London. They tried desperately to find Gwyneth as they wanted to give all the bridesmaids the opportunity to be at the event. They had no success and of course she may not still be alive. They would still love to know what happened to Gwyneth and I am doing my bit to try and help which is how I found this forum.
My wife and I have been to the Hull History Centre and whilst they gave us access to some interesting material, they claimed that Data Protection issues prevented any disclosure of individuals' names.
Can anyone help please in terms of any personal knowledge or suggestions as to how this particular mystery can be solved.
Thank you.
Geoff
