I was in the Marden Orphange and remember when we moved to Hawkslease, Chapel Lane, Lyndhurst.  Some of us girls had to carry cleaning materials and walk from Marden to Hawklease.  The older girls scrubbed the place out ready for the move over.  I have a photo of all the girls in the orphanage in 1949 and the matron, miss Taylor and a couple of others.  My name was Pat Richards (How I hated that name and now use Patricia) my sisters were also in the orphange.  I remember poor little Maureen Such and many other girs.
